  2. How the MAS Program Can Help • Meet time frames for spending • Supports firm fixed-price awards • Specific reporting requirements can be included in scope • Supports socio-economic goals • Supports competitive procurements • Total solutions for complex requirements

  3. Small Business Procurement – GSA Can Help! • All small businesses should have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in providing goods and services to U.S. Government (Small Business Act) • The Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) statutory government-wide procurement goals* * 23% of an agency’s prime contracts for small businesses * 5% for small disadvantage businesses (prime & subcontracts) * 5% for women-owned small businesses (prime & subcontracts) * 3% for HUBZone businesses (prime and subcontracts) * 3% for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) (prime & subcontracts)

  4. We want to be your procurement partner • National network of customer representatives ready to help you • Thousands of subject matter experts who are knowledgeable about their industry & committed to serving the federal community • Acquisition professionals who speak your language and understand your issues • FAR compliant contracts

  5. What are your options? • Other Government IDIQs- May not provide a total solution, limited scope of contractors • Open Market- Lengthy procurement process depending on dollar value • GSA Multiple Award Schedule contracts -Offers a broad range of services and products so a total solution can be ordered, easy to use, can obtain socio-economic goals through evaluation process, no maximum dollar values, latest technology, significant contractor capacity

  6. Value Proposition • FAS Multiple Award Schedule contracts provide ready-to-use ordering vehicles • Substantial selection of qualified contractors • Greater efficiency of time management in acquisition by eliminating front-end work • Free online tools make it easy and fast to get quotes • Flexibility to structure task orders your way including customized terms and conditions • Total solutions for complex requirements including services and products • BPAs can streamline ordering across the organization • Market research is simple

  7. GSA Schedule Solutions which demonstrate value proposition - • Added a new SIN to the Professional Engineering Services (871) Schedule for Construction Management • Added a new SIN to the LogWorld (874V) Schedule for Ancillary Repair and Alteration • Revamped the Environmental Services (899) Schedule SINs to enhance customer awareness of E.O. 13423

  8. Alignment of MAS Contracts to Agency Projects (Single Schedule) • Supply Chain Logistics Improvements, Distribution and Storage (LogWorld) • Scientific and Technical Research (PES) • Consulting, Waste Management, Recycling and Remediation (Environmental)

  9. Alignment of MAS Contracts to Agency Projects (Multiple Schedules) Example: Requirement for new unmanned vehicle: • PES – Development Phase (Engineers design, develop and test prototype) • LogWorld – Fielding Phase (acquire, assemble, store, distribute and repair) • Environmental – Disposal Phase (recycling and disposal)

  10. Guidelines in FAR 9.6 Schedule Contractors May Team with Each Other to Provide a Total Solution for a Customer Contractor Teams are issued one task order or BPA Can include Subcontractor effort, as long as mapped to Prime Schedule labor category Task orders can be issued to Team Lead or directly to Team Member Enables Contractors to Consolidate Unique Capabilities Offers the Government the Best Combination of Performance, Cost and Delivery Increases Small BusinessParticipation Contractor Teaming Arrangements

  24. Commercial Enterprise Omnibus Support Services (CEOss) • Centralized business model • Principal medium for acquiring contractor support services at MCSC • Competitive, performance-based sourcing • Work is competed in one of four functional domains • ACSS manages and facilitates process • Foundation is GSA schedule

  25. CEOss Three Tiers of Competition • GSA Schedules (basic contracts) already awarded competitively to individual contractors • Contractors are initially qualified as GSA Schedule holders • Price already determined to be fair and reasonable at national level • Additional volume discounts • Reduced procurement lead time and overhead • Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) enable MCSC to tailor acquisition needs • Agency specific special clauses/provisions supplement GSA schedules • Open Season awards BPAs to most qualified contractors within each domain • Task Orders competitively issued against BPAs • Peer-to-peer competitions among BPA holders within selected domain • Customers down-select from BPA teams to obtain “best value” decision/award

  26. Qualifying GSA Schedules

  27. CEOss Functional Domains align to GSA schedules • General scope of GSA offerings relate directly to the definition of CEOss functional domains • Domain definition provides the benefit of “like” services offered between the participating contractors • Services are differentiated primarily by pricing; based upon each firm’s business model and any derived efficiencies • Permits CEOss primes to develop strategies for teaming and service offerings based upon “known quantity” requirements associated with the core competencies established under their respective schedules

  28. BPA Holders and Teaming • Traditional Prime/Subcontractor teaming relationships • Subcontractors may have their own GSA schedule or map to primes GSA schedule • No limits on team size • Average # subcontractors per team = 22 • Second Tier Subs not permitted • Prime may not team with other primes in their domain but may be a subcontractor in other domains

  29. CEOss Task Orders • Performance-based • Firm-Fixed Price Labor • Cost-Reimbursable Travel/ODCs • Nominal (< 5% of task order value) • Incidental to services • Competed in domain that represents “best fit” with respect to performance capability at expected price • Up to 12 month base and two 12 month renewal options • Renewals based on satisfactory performance IAW QASP • IFF applies to all CEOss task order awards
