   1. Prepares a request for quote which includes:

      • A performance-based statement of work that outlines the work to be performed
      • Type of task order - labor hour (LH) or firm fixed price (FFP)
      • Basis to be used for contractor selection (i.e., best value, etc.)
      
      

   2. Transmits the requests for quote to contractors:

      • Select at least three (more if TO value is over $1 million) qualified contractors on the schedule. Note: DoD Agencies should refer to the DFAR when ordering services using GSA schedule contracts.
      • Send requests for quote to selected contractors. GSA E-buy system provides a streamlined web based system for ordering services using the GSA schedules
      
      

   3. 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.) 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.
