Instructions for Placing Orders for Services Based on GSA Schedule Hourly Rates

GSA provides a streamlined, efficient process for ordering the services you need. GSA has already determined that Compensation Resources, Inc. meets the technical requirements and that our prices offered are fair and reasonable. Agencies may use written orders; facsimile orders, credit card orders, blanket purchase agreement orders or individual purchase orders under this contract.

If it is determined that your agency needs an outside source to provide MOBIS services, follow these simple steps:

Step 1. Develop a Statement of Work (SOW)

In the SOW, include the following information:

Work to be performed,
Location of work,
Period of performance;
Deliverable schedule, and
Special standards and any special requirements, where applicable.

Step 2. Select Contractor and Place Order

If the order is at or below the micro-purchase threshold, select the contractor best suited for your needs and place the order.
If the order is exceeding but less than the maximum order threshold (MOT), prepare an RFQ;
If the order is in excess of the MOT, prepare an RFQ. Consider expansion of competition and seek price reductions.

Step 3. Prepare a Request for Quote (RFQ)

Include the SOW and evaluation criteria;
Request fixed price, ceiling price, or, if not possible, labor hour or time and materials order;
If preferred, request a performance plan from contractors and information on past experience; and include information on the basis for selection.
May be posted on GSA’s electronic RFQ system, e-Buy

Step 4. Provide RFQ to at least Three Firms

Step 5. Evaluate Offers, Select Best Value Firm, and Place Order

Requirements Exceeding the Maximum Order

In accordance with FAR 8.404, before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall:

Review additional schedule contractors’ catalogs/price lists or use the “GSA Advantage!” on-line shopping service;
Based upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price reductions from the schedule contractor(s) appearing to provide the best value (considering price and other factors); and
After price reductions have been sought, place the order with the schedule contractor that provides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (see FAR 8.404(a)). If further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering office determines that it is appropriate.

Vendors may:

Offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reduction clause is not applicable to orders placed over the maximum order in FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations.)

Offer the lowest price available under the contract; or
Decline the order (orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216-19).

A task order that exceeds the maximum order may be placed with the Contractor selected in accordance with FAR 8.404. The order will be placed under the contract.

Sales for orders that exceed the Maximum Order shall be reported in accordance with GSAR 552.238-74.

Blanket Purchase Agreement (8.405-3)

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:

The scope and complexity of the requirement(s);
The need to periodically compare multiple technical approaches or prices;
The administrative costs of BPAs; and
The technical qualifications of the schedule contractor(s).

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.

When establishing multiple BPAs, the ordering activity shall specify the procedures for placing orders under the BPAs.

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.

Ordering from BPAs:

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.

Multiple BPAs. If the ordering activity establishes multiple BPAs, before placing an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, the ordering activity shall:

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
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.

BPAs for hourly rate services. If the BPA is for hourly rate services, the ordering activity shall develop a statement of work for requirements covered by the BPA. All orders under the BPA shall specify a price for the performance of the tasks identified in the statement of work.

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.

Review of BPAs:

The ordering activity that established the BPA shall review it at least once a year to determine whether:

The schedule contract, upon which the BPA was established, is still in effect;
The BPA still represents the best value (see 8.404(d)); and
Estimated quantities/amounts have been exceeded and additional price reductions can be obtained.

The ordering activity shall document the results of its review.
