  3. What is FIRST? • FIRST is an Enterprise Solution to provide innovative and responsive logistics support to meet the evolving mission needs of the war fighter.  • The Scope of Work provides Task Areas that define functional and programmatic services that may be required by Headquarters Army Material Command (AMC); Headquarters, Forces Command (HQ FORSCOM); Headquarters Installation Management Command (IMCOM) (Logistics); Headquarters, U.S. Army Reserve Command (HQ USARC); Headquarters, Third Army U.S. Army Central Command (ARCENT), Headquarters, U.S. First Army, and all other Army or Department of Defense (DOD) Agencies, authorized to place orders against FIRST contracts.  • FIRST was solicited and awarded as a result of two separate solicitations:  one that was a Total set-aside for small business and the other as a full and open competition 3

  4. Ordering Process • Step 1 - Customer identifies a requirement and develops a requirements package, includes but is not limited to • Performance Work Statement (PWS), Statement of Objectives (SOO) or Statement of Work (SOW) • Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) • Funding Document • Quality Assurance and Surveillance Plan (QASP) • Workload documentation • Service Contract Approval • Justification and Approval Document (if needed)

  5. Ordering Process • Step 2 – Contracting Officer Reviews requirements package • Reviews documents with customer POC • Works with customer to gain necessary documents and customer approvals • Estimated dollar amount for requirement may cause requirement to be elevated up to a MICC Center for award • Example a Ft Sill customer has a requirement that has an estimated value in excess of $5.5 Mil then the requirement would be migrated to the MICC Center at Ft Sam Houston.

  6. Ordering Process • Step 3 – Contracting Officer conducts market research on requirement • New requirement or old requirement • Old requirements - How was the last one solicited? Limitations? • FAR Part 19 (8(a) example) • FAR Part 8 requirements (AbilityOne – Procurement List) • Contract Type • Existing Contracts (within DoD and without (GSA)) • Determination of if requirement is within scope and remaining value of Master Contract • Determination of which Task Area is applicable for this requirement

  7. Remember: No competition among suites ! Which Task Area ? • What task area is the predominance of the requirement? • By dollar value ? • By estimated or historical level of effort ? • Amount of needed contract administration (COR effort) ? Task Order Contracting Officer Decision ! Which Suite ? • Did Task Order KO put the requirement in one of the “shared” task areas • (Task Areas 1, 2, 7, 9, or 10) ? • If task order valued over $5 Million / year, then requirement goes to Unrestricted Suite • If task order valued at $5 Million / year or less, then goes to the Restricted Suite • Otherwise, it is competed in the suite that has the associated dedicated task area
