Ordering Procedures
GSA's streamlined ordering procedures have reduced the government procurement process to a few simple steps. While GSA Federal Supply Service has already determined SAIC rates to be fair and reasonable, ordering offices must determine that the total price is reasonable for the specific tasks required by the agency. After identifying a need for language services, the government agency:
- Prepares a request for quote
- A performance-based statement of work that outlines the work to be performed
- Type of Task Order T&M or FFP
- Basis to be used for contractor selection (best value, low cost, etc)
- Transmits the request for quotes to contractors
- Select at least three (more if TO value is more than $1 million) qualified contractors on schedule
- Send Request for Quotes to selected contractors. GSA's e-Buy provides ordering agencies a streamlined web-based system for ordering services using the GSA schedules.
- Evaluates quotes and selects the contractor to receive the order
- Evaluate responses based upon the factors identified in the request for quotes
- Place the order directly with the schedule contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special qualifications, administrative costs, etc.)
Note: Special ordering procedures have been established for DoD agencies when placing orders for services exceeding $100,000 in accordance with Section 803 of the FY 2002 Defense Authorization Bill. See the applicable DFAR for specific ordering procedures.
The task order is issued directly from the requesting government agency's contracting office to the selected contractor without GSA involvement in the procurement process. All task order reporting requirements and remission of fees to GSA are the responsibility of the contractor.
The establishment of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for recurring services is permitted under this contract. The potential volume of orders under BPAs, regardless of the size of individual orders, may offer the ordering office the opportunity to secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs, ordering offices should inform contractors in the request for quotes (based on the agency's requirement) if a single BPA or multiple BPAs will be established and indicate the basis that will be used for selecting the contractors to be awarded the BPA(s).
