Information for Ordering Offices:

1. Small Business Participation
   Special Notice to Agencies:

   SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

   For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!™ on-line shopping service. The catalogs/pricelists and the GSA Advantage! web site contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns. More information is available at GSA Advantage web site.

   This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

   For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

2. Geographic Scope of Contract
   The geographic scope of this contract is the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C.

   703-676-0818 (Program Management)

4. Liability for Injury or Damage
   The Contractor shall not be liable for any injury to Government personnel or damage to Government property arising from the use of equipment maintained by the Contractor, unless such injury or damage is due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

5. Ordering
   Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), using the procedures in FAR 8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek further competition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set-asides in accordance with subpart 19.5. GSA has already determined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. By placing an order against a schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering office has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government's needs.

   1. Orders placed at or below the micropurchase threshold. Ordering offices can place orders at or below the micropurchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule Contractor.

   2. Orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold but not exceeding the maximum order threshold. Orders should be placed with the Schedule Contractor that can provide the supply or service that represents the best value. Before placing an order, ordering offices should consider reasonably available information about the supply or service offered under MAS contracts by using the "GSA Advantage!™" on-line shopping service, or by reviewing the catalogs/pricelists or at least three Schedule Contractors and selecting the delivery and other options available under the schedule that meets the agency's needs. In selecting the supply or service representing the best value, the ordering office may consider:

      • Special features of the supply or service that are required in effective program performance and that are not provided by a comparable supply or service

      • Past performance

   3. Orders exceeding the maximum order threshold. Each schedule contract has an established maximum order threshold. This threshold represents the point where it is advantageous for the ordering office to seek a price reduction. In addition to following the procedures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall

      • Review additional Schedule Contractors' catalogs/pricelists 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. If further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering office determines that it is appropriate.

      Note: For orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the Contractor may:

      • Offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reductions 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).

   4. Blanket purchase agreements (BPAs). The establishment of Federal Supply Schedule BPAs is permitted when following the ordering procedures in FAR 8.404. All schedule contracts contain BPA provisions. Ordering offices may use BPAs to establish accounts with Contractors to fill recurring requirements. BPAs should address the frequency of ordering and invoicing, discounts, and delivery locations and times.

   5. Price Reductions. In addition to the circumstances outlined in paragraph c, above, there may be instances when ordering offices will find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when the ordering office finds a schedule supply or service elsewhere at a lower price or when a BPA is being established to fill recurring requirements, requesting a price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of orders under these agreements, regardless of the size of the individual order, may offer the ordering office the opportunity to secure greater discounts. Schedule Contractors are not required to pass on to all schedule users a price reduction extended only to an individual agency for a specific order.

   6. Small business. For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, ordering offices should give preference to the items of small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy the requirement.

   7. Documentation. Orders should be documented, at a minimum, by identifying the Contractor the item was purchased from, the item purchased, and the amount paid. If an agency requirement in excess of the micro-purchase threshold is defined so as to require a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company, the ordering office shall include an explanation in the file as to why the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to satisfy the agency's needs.

6. Security Requirements
   In the event security requirements are necessary, the ordering activities may incorporate, in their delivery order(s), a security clause in accordance with current laws, regulations, and individual agency policy; however, the burden of administering the security requirements shall be with the ordering agency. If any costs are incurred as a result of the inclusion of security requirements, such costs will not exceed ten percent (10%) or $100,000, of the total dollar value of the order, whichever is lesser.

7. Contract Administration For Ordering Offices
   Any ordering office, with respect to any one or more delivery orders placed by it under this contract, may exercise the same rights of termination as might the GSA Contracting Officer under provisions of FAR 52.249-1, 52.249-2, and 52.249-8.

8. GSA Advantage!™
   The GSA Advantage!™ is an on-line, interactive electronic information and ordering system that provides on-line access to vendors' schedule prices with ordering information. The GSA Advantage!™ will allow the user to perform various searches across all contracts. Agencies can browse GSA Advantage!™ by accessing the Internet World Wide Web utilizing a browser (e.g.: NetScape). The Internet address is http://www.gsa.gov.

9. Purchase of Incidental, Non-Schedule Items
   For administrative convenience, open market (non-contract) items may be added to a Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) or an individual order, provided that the items are clearly labeled as such on the order, all applicable regulations have been followed, and price reasonableness has been determined by the ordering activity for the open market (non-contract) items.

10. Limitation of Liability

    1. SAIC's TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER AND ALL LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS CONTRACT, FROM ANY CAUSE OR CAUSES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR STATUTORY LIABILITY, SHALL NOT, IN THE AGGREGATE, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO SAIC UNDER THE CONTRACT, OR UNDER THE SPECIFIC DELIVERY ORDER AT ISSUE, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

    2. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER SAIC OR CUSTOMER BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR ECONOMIC DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS AND LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY), REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UNDER WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT, AND EVEN IF THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    3. ANY CLAIM BY CUSTOMER AGAINST SAIC RELATING TO THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN IN WARRANTY, MUST BE MADE IN WRITING AND PRESENTED TO SAIC WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER THE EARLIER OF: (1) THE DATE ON WHICH THE CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THE DELIVERABLE AT ISSUE: OR (2) THE DATE ON WHICH SAIC COMPLETES PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES SPECIFIED IN THIS CONTRACT. ANY CLAIM UNDER WARRANTY MUST BE MADE WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED IN THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY CLAUSE.

    SAIC Limitation of Liability language does not apply to circumstances described in FAR 52.224-1 and FAR 25.224-2.

11. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)
    Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.201(a) defines Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) as "a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing Ôcharge accounts' with qualified sources of supply." The use of Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Federal Supply Schedule Program is authorized in accordance with FAR 13.202(c)(3), which reads, in part, as follows:

    "BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule Contractors, if not inconsistent with the terms of the applicable schedule contract."

    Federal Supply Schedule contracts contain BPA provisions to enable schedule users to maximize their administrative and purchasing savings. This feature permits schedule users to set up "accounts" with Schedule Contracts to fill recurring requirements. These accounts establish a period for the BPA and generally address issues such as the frequency of ordering and invoicing, authorized callers, discounts, delivery locations and times. Agencies may qualify for the best quantity/volume discounts available under the contract, based on the potential volume of business that may be generated through such an agreement, regardless of the size of the individual orders. In addition, agencies may be able to secure a discount higher than that available in the contract based on the aggregate volume of business possible under a BPA. Finally, Contractors may be open to a progressive type of discounting where the discount would increase once the sales accumulated under the BPA reach certain prescribed levels. Use of a BPA may be particularly useful with the new Maximum Order feature. See the Suggested Format, contained in this Schedule Pricelist, for customers to consider when using this purchasing tool.

12. Contractor Team Arrangements
    Federal Supply Schedule Contractors may use "Contractor Team Arrangements" (see FAR 9.6) to provide solutions when responding to a customer agency requirements. The policy and procedures outlined in this part will provide more flexibility and allow innovative acquisition methods when using the Federal Supply Schedules. See the additional information regarding Contractor Team Arrangements in this Schedule Pricelist.
