This SIN EXCLUDES: (1) major or new construction of buildings, roads, parking lots and other facilities; (2) complex R&A of entire facilities or significant portions of facilities, and (3) Architect-Engineering Services subject to Public Law 92-582 (Brooks Act).
The work performed under this SIN shall be associated with existing SINs that are part of this Schedule. Ancillary Repair and Alterations shall not be the primary purpose of the work ordered but be an integral part of the total solution offered. Ancillary repair and alteration services may only be ordered in conjunction with or in support of products or services purchased under this Federal Supply Schedule contract.
This SIN includes all regulatory guidance outlined in accordance with FAR 36, including the Davis Bacon Act and the Miller Act.
Special Instructions: No award will be made under 003-97 Ancillary Repair and Alteration unless an offeror is awarded (or receives award concurrently) for another SIN under this Schedule. The Repair and Alteration work must be ancillary (incidental) to the primary services or products offered under the Schedule.
For Federally-owned space managed by GSA's Public Building Service (PBS), approval of the PBS Building Manager must be received by the ordering activity and contractor before any repair and alteration work may be ordered. A copy of the approval must be retained by both the ordering activity contracting officer and the contractor.
Owned or leased space outside the PBS inventory may also include approval requirements. A copy of the approval must be retained by both the ordering activity contracting officer and the MAS contractor performing the R&A services.
This R&A SIN shall not be used for PBS leased space.
Any Agency contracting officer ordering services under this SIN for Ancillary Repair and Alterations is responsible for complying with his or her agency's internal policies when procuring R&A services. This may include a specific warrant delegation for procuring construction services when the estimated amount of this portion of the task order exceeds $2,000 (Ref. FAR 22.4).
Special Notice to Ordering Agencies: GSA or other landlords may require reperformance of any nonconforming work at agency expense. If applicable, agencies may seek appropriate recourse from the contractor responsible for the nonconforming work.
Ancillary Supplies and/or Services, Relating to Energy Management, Water Conservation and Support Services (SIN 871-100)
Ancillary supplies and/or services are support supplies and/or services which are not within the scope of any other SIN on this schedule. These supplies and/or services are necessary to compliment a contractor's offerings to provide a solution to a customer requirement. This SIN may be used for orders and blanket purchase agreements that involve work or a project that is solely associated with the supplies and/or services purchased under this schedule. This SIN EXCLUDES purchases that are exclusively for supplies and/or services already available under another schedule.
Special Instructions: The work performed under this SIN shall be associated with existing SIN(s) that are part of this schedule. Ancillary supplies and/or services shall not be the primary purpose of the work ordered, but be an integral part of the total solution offered. Ancillary supplies and/or services may only be ordered in conjunction with or in support of supplies or services purchased under another SIN(s) of the same schedule. Offerors may be required to provide additional information to support a determination that their proposed ancillary supplies and/or services are commercially offered in support of one or more SIN(s) under this schedule.
