Task Order Process

The following is a brief outline of the NexGen Task Order process.

• Step 1 — Task Monitor prepares requirements package.

  The package contains a Statement of Work (SOW), funding documentation, an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), a Requirements Package Checklist, and a customer recommendation concerning the use of fair opportunity (by providing evaluation criteria) or an exception to fair opportunity based on the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (FASA).

  For internal DISA customers, the package should be sent to DITCO-NCR. For external customers, it should go to one of the following:

  • DITCO-Scott for other domestic agencies,
  • DITCO-Pacific for Pacific regions,
  • DITCO-Alaska for Alaska,
  • DITCO-Southwest Asia for Southwest Asia, and
  • DITCO-Europe for Europe.

• Step 2 — Contracting Officer receives and reviews package.

  The Contracting Officer will review the package to ensure it is complete, that the work is technically within scope, and appropriate funding documentation is provided. The requirements package is then forwarded to the contractors via email.

• Step 3 — Contracting Officer posts Request for Proposal (RFP).

  The RFP will be posted on the task order web page to solicit proposals from prime vendors.

• Step 4 — Contractors submit technical and cost proposals.

  Each prime contractor is generally allowed seven calendar days to prepare and submit proposals. "No bid" replies should be submitted to the Contracting Officer and Task Monitor by email.

  Technical proposals may be either written or presented orally. If oral presentations are required by the customer (Task Monitor), the requirements package and the RFP will indicate the time, place, and required contents for the presentations.

  Cost proposals must be submitted in writing.

• Step 5a — Contracting Officer and Task Monitor evaluate proposals.

  After the evaluation, the Task Monitor prepares a Selection Recommendation Document (SRD), which details the evaluation and rationale for best value decision.

• Step 5b — Contracting Officer awards task order.

  The Contracting Officer awards the task order to successful offeror by issuing a DD Form 1155, with a copy to the Contracting Officer's Representative and Task Monitor. At that point, the contractor is authorized to begin work.
