1. Please call contractor for availability.
The below three options are available for items b, c, & d shipping methods.
(a) Ordering activities shall use the procedures of this subsection when
ordering supplies and services that are listed in the schedules contracts at a
fixed price for the performance of a specific task, where a statement of work is
not required (e.g., installation,
maintenance, and repair).
(b) Orders at or below the
micro-purchase threshold. Ordering activities may place orders at,
or below, the micro-purchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule
contractor that can meet the agency’s needs. Although not required to solicit
from a specific number of schedule contractors, ordering activities should
attempt to distribute orders among contractors.
(c) Orders exceeding the micro-purchase
threshold but not exceeding the maximum order threshold.
(1) Ordering activities shall
place orders with the schedule contractor that can provide the supply or service
that represents the best value. Before placing an order, an ordering activity
shall consider reasonably available information about the supply or service
offered under MAS contracts by surveying at least three schedule contractors
through the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service, or by reviewing the
catalogs or pricelists of at least three schedule contractors (see 8.405-5).
(2) When an order
contains brand name specifications, the contracting officer shall post the
Request for Quote (RFQ) along with the justification or documentation as
required by 8.405-6.
(3) In addition to
price, when determining best value, the ordering activity may consider, among
other factors, the following:
(i) Past performance.
(ii) Special features
of the supply or service required for effective program performance.
(iii) Trade-in
considerations.
(iv) Probable life of
the item selected as compared with that of a comparable item.
(v) Warranty
considerations.
(vi) Maintenance
availability.
(vii) Environmental
and energy efficiency considerations.
(viii) Delivery terms.
(d) Orders exceeding the maximum order
threshold. Each schedule contract has a maximum order threshold
established on a SIN-by-SIN basis. Although a price reduction may be sought at
any time, this threshold represents the point where, given the dollar value of
the potential order, the ordering activity shall seek a price reduction. In
addition to following the procedures in paragraph (c) of this section and
before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold or establishing
a BPA (see 8.405-3),
ordering activities shall—
(1) Review (except see (c)(2) of this subsection) the pricelists of
additional schedule contractors (the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service can
be used to facilitate this review);
(2) Based upon the initial evaluation, seek price reductions from the
schedule contractor(s) considered to offer the best value (see 8.404(d));
and
(3) After seeking price reductions (see 8.405-4),
place the order with the schedule contractor that provides the best value. If
further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed.
(e) Minimum documentation. The ordering activity shall document—
(1) The schedule contracts considered, noting the contractor from which the
supply or service was purchased;
(2) A description of the supply or service purchased; and
(3) The amount paid.
(a)(1) Establishment.
Ordering activities may establish BPAs under any schedule contract to fill
repetitive needs for supplies or services. BPAs may be established with one or
more schedule contractors. The number of BPAs to be established is within the
discretion of the ordering activity establishing the BPAs and should be based on
a strategy that is expected to maximize the effectiveness of the BPA(s). In
determining how many BPAs to establish, consider—
(i) The scope and complexity of the requirement(s);
(ii) The need to periodically compare multiple technical approaches or
prices;
(iii) The administrative costs of BPAs; and
(iv) The technical qualifications of the schedule contractor(s).
(2) Establishment of a single BPA, or multiple BPAs, shall be made using the
same procedures outlined in 8.405-1
or 8.405-2.
BPAs shall address the frequency of ordering, invoicing, discounts, requirements
(e.g. estimated quantities, work
to be performed), delivery locations, and time.
(3) When establishing multiple BPAs, the ordering activity shall specify the
procedures for placing orders under the BPAs.
(4) Establishment of a multi-agency BPA against a Federal Supply Schedule
contract is permitted if the multi-agency BPA identifies the participating
agencies and their estimated requirements at the time the BPA is established.
(b) Ordering from BPAs—
(1) Single BPA. If the
ordering activity establishes one BPA, authorized users may place the order
directly under the established BPA when the need for the supply or service
arises.
(2) Multiple BPAs. If the
ordering activity establishes multiple BPAs, before placing an order exceeding
the micro-purchase threshold, the ordering activity shall—
(i) Forward the requirement, or statement of work and the evaluation
criteria, to an appropriate number of BPA holders, as established in the BPA
ordering procedures; and
(ii) Evaluate the responses received, make a best value determination (see 8.404(d)),
and place the order with the BPA holder that represents the best value.
(c) Duration
of BPAs. BPAs generally should not exceed five years in length,
but may do so to meet program requirements. Contractors may be awarded BPAs that
extend beyond the current term of their GSA Schedule contract, so long as there
are option periods in their GSA Schedule contract that, if exercised, will cover
the BPA’s period of performance.
(d) Review of BPAs.
(1) The ordering activity that established the BPA shall review it at least
once a year to determine whether—
(i) The schedule contract, upon which the BPA was established, is still in
effect;
(ii) The BPA still represents the best value (see 8.404(d));
and
(iii) Estimated quantities/amounts have been exceeded and additional price
reductions can be obtained.
(2) The ordering activity shall document the results of its review.
