CIMS Prospectus • Broad and flexible scope and access to diversified talent • Many specialty labor categories • Facilitates small business and 8(a) goals • Performance based focus • CIMS fosters contractor work off-site • Explicitly enables teleworking • Government issued equipment not required but allowed
CITS/CIMS Transition Issues • Approximately 48 CITS task orders will be expiring between February 1 and June 30, 2011 and will be re-competed under CIMS • Completed RFTOPs must be received by the CIMS CPMO office at least three months before the requested performance start date. CPMO will review and forward to PGO. For expiring orders program offices may need to allow additional time for contractor transition in case a new (non-incumbent) contractor receives award .
CITS/CIMS Transition Issues • COTRs will make recommendations on small business or 8(a) set aside determinations including technical rationale and justification. PGO and the small business specialist will review and the contracting officer will make the final determination. • RFTOPs sent to the contractors for competitive proposals will initially be e-mailed from the PGO Contracting Officer • Inventory of CDC requirements to be procured under CIMS • CITS, non-CITS contracts administered by CDC (GWACs, GSA etc), interagency agreements, new requirements
Performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) • Performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) is the preferred method of contracting for services and supplies • Results in better quality services and timely responses • PBSA is contracting for results, not just best efforts • Essential elements include: • Performance requirements described in terms of "what" the required output is, and not "how" the work is to be accomplished • Performance standards or measurements, which are the criteria for determining whether the performance requirements are met • Appropriate performance incentives, either positive or negative • Surveillance plan that documents the Government’s approach to monitoring the contractor’s performance
Performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) • Performance Standards/Metrics: • Reflect the level of service required by the Government to meet performance objectives • Standards may be objective (e.g., response time), or subjective (e.g., customer satisfaction) • Service level agreements are performance standards that translate customer’s priorities into measurable performance outcomes • Performance standards use commercial standards where practicable, ensure the standard is needed and not unduly burdensome, and must be measurable, easy to apply, and attainable
Performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) • Performance Incentives • May be positive or negative; monetary or non-monetary • If a financial incentive is promised, funding for the incentive must be committed at the time of task order award • Examples of monetary incentives include: • Incentive fees • Share-in-savings • Negative monetary incentives (can be included if the desired results are not achieved, deduction should be equal to the value of the service lost) • Examples of non-monetary incentives include: • Positive performance evaluation • Automatic extension of contract term or option exercise
Performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) • Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) • The QASP is a plan for assessing contractor performance to ensure compliance with the Government’s performance objectives • Describes the surveillance schedule, methods, performance measures, and incentives • The QASP is included as part of the PWS and inspects the outputs, not the process • The level of surveillance should be commensurate with the dollar amount, risk, and complexity of the requirement
