17. CEOss 2009 Overview ~Individual Vendor Performance Metrics~ Individual Sessions with Domain Representatives in Break-Out Rooms
See Sherri Payne for Schedule/Location
Overall Vendor Performance measured by Performance Index (PI):
P/Index = [% Revenue + (Bid % + Avg. Score)] – (LOC)
Top left box provides summary information about CEOss since it’s inception in 2002. We are nearing $1.5B in awarded task orders and mods!
The lower left box shows domain performance – awarded task orders (including renewals) per domain and the associated value. This FY to date, we have awarded over $160M!
The competition percentage is an average of the bid rates across all domains. It is significantly lower than last year at this time (64%). Average days in queue (from DRFQ through award) has remained steady at 18 days.
Average proposal scores have dropped from last year to 80%. It is unclear what is responsible for the decline, although there were some changes made to the evaluation process from last year to this year (price reasonableness weighted and evaluated; increased focus on performance risk).
We are continuing an increasing trend in award value, as shown by the chart in the upper right, but it appears we may be reaching a plateau, likely due to resource constraints.

19. CEOss 2009 Overview ~Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI)~ Vendor is expected to raise OCI concern/potential
Limitation on Future Contracting Clause is a warning; does not protect or prohibit vendor
OCI mitigation plans may be submitted; however, they are filed un-reviewed at ACSS
Contracting office for future effort is responsible for approval/disapproval of OCI mitigation plan
Withdrawal based on OCI is still counted as “no bid” with respect to bid rate calculations, but noted in file
OCI is just one reason why a vendor might not bid. We can’t begin to make exceptions to bid rate. If it because a serious concern, the vendor may want to reconsider whether they can continue in the services arena.

20. CEOss 2009 Overview ~Non-Personal Services Contracts~ CEOss Task Orders are for Non-Personal Services IAW FAR Part 37
“Nonpersonal services contract” means a contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.
Contractors should not be performing Inherently Governmental functions
See FAR SubPart 7.5
Contractors should not represent themselves as Government Employees, either explicitly or implicitly
Contact ACSS if you believe you have moved into a personal services arrangement
21. CEOss 2009 Overview ~Travel/Other Direct Costs (ODCs)~ Must be “nominal” and incidental to services (<5%)

IT related items
Must be submitted by Government Project Officer to ACSS Contracting Officer
Notify at 75% of costs incurred; stop at 85%
Please track expenditures closely so as not to over-expend
Vendor may have to eat overage
To pay requires “Ratification” that requires high level approval
The bottom bullet is a serious concern! Vendors need to comply to ensure that there is sufficient funds available to cover expenses.
