(2) The procurement is for an item of standard Army material (i.e., supplies that, as confirmed by the requiring activity, have been type classified “standard” under Army Regulation 700-142, Type Classification, Material Release, Fielding, and Transfer) for which other acquisition planning documentation exists and can be documented in the contract file.
(d) The requests for approval of acquisition plans in accordance with the thresholds identified at DFARS 207.103(d)(i) must include the concurrence of the –
(a) Send offerors’ responses to the solicitation provision in FAR 52.207-4 to the requiring activity.
To achieve fair and even-handed competition between in-house entities and industry, the principal assistant responsible for contracting will ensure that contracting officers provide industry with pertinent, accurate, and available data necessary to engender as full and complete an understanding as possible of the operation(s) covered by the A-76 competition. Historical data provided must be relevant and well organized (see Department of Army Pamphlet 5-20). To maximize use of Army resources, contracting officers must make every effort to utilize A-76 contracting best practices and good ideas that have worked for others and avoid repetition of unsuccessful strategies and procedures.
(e)(i) Contracting officers must ensure that requiring officials provide a written determination as required by FAR 7.503(e) and DFARS 207.503(e) prior to issuance of a solicitation for award of a service contract, including those contract types described in FAR 16.5, a services task order awarded under FAR 16.5, or modification of an awarded service contract’s or task order’s statement of work. Contracting officers shall document the official contract file with the determination.
This subpart prescribes policy for the preparation of independent government cost estimates.
“Independent government cost estimate (IGCE),” as used in this subpart, means the Government’s estimate of the projected price or cost that a contractor would incur in the successful performance of a contract.
(a) Contracting officers shall require the preparation of an IGCE in every procurement action in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). The contracting officer, at his or her discretion, may require an IGCE for actions less than the SAT.
(b) The contracting officer shall ensure, prior to accepting an IGCE, that—
(1) The IGCE contains enough detail to verify the validity of the offerors’ proposals;
(2) The IGCE provides sufficient narrative and analytical detail, to include reference material, to support its preparation;
(3) The preparer reviews, signs by hand or by Common-Access-Card and dates the IGCE, and includes the preparer’s organization, position, title and telephone number;
(4) The preparer’s immediate supervisor reviews, signs by hand or by Common-Access-Card and dates the IGCE, and includes the reviewer’s organization, position, title, rank or grade and telephone number; and
(5) The IGCE includes a signed, by hand or by Common-Access-Card, certification that the Government independently developed the IGCE—
(i) Prior to seeking any formal proposals from contractors; or
(ii) For construction, within a timeframe consistent with FAR 36.203.
Implementation of AT and OPSEC considerations in the requirements package is the responsibility of the requiring activity. Contracting officers, prior to issuing a solicitation for a service contract (including construction) in excess of the micro-purchase threshold or a supply contract in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold, shall ensure that the requirements package contains a signed AT/OPSEC cover sheet. The cover sheet, at a minimum, must include all the information and reviews listed in the Army standard cover sheet at Appendix A of the AT/OPSEC Desk Reference, available via the Internet at https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/589183/ (Army Knowledge Online login required). This requirement also applies to orders under indefinite delivery contracts, unless each task or delivery order under the contract is for substantially the same product or service, in which case the cover sheet at the contract level is sufficient.
