The GSA has determined that the rates for services contained in the Contractor s Price List are fair and reasonable. However, the Ordering Office is responsible for considering the level of effort and mix of labor proposed to perform specific tasks being ordered, for making a determination that a firm fixed price or labor hour order is required, and for evaluating the proposal and making the award.
The Ordering Office procedure includes:
1. Preparing a Request for Quote (RFQ)
(a) A performance-based Statement of Work (SOW) must be prepared, including location of work, period of performance, deliverable schedule, applicable standards, acceptance criteria, travel requirements, and other elements necessary for a responsive quote.
(b) An RFQ is prepared, including the SOW and requesting the contractors to submit either a firm fixed price or labor hour proposal. A firm fixed price proposal will be requested unless it is determined that it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. A labor hour quote may then be requested. Orders must use the contract labor categories and the rates proposed must not exceed the rates in the contract. The quote should include all costs to perform the tasking.
(c) The RFQ may request the contractor to submit a project plan for performing the task and/or information on the contractor s experience and/or past performance performing similar tasks.
(d) The RFQ will notify the contractor what basis will be used for selecting the contractor to receive the order. The notice shall include the basis for determining whether the contractors are technically qualified and provide an explanation regarding the intended use of any experience and/or past performance information in determining technical acceptability of responses.
2. Transmit the RFQ to Contractors:
(a) GSA offers an on-line shopping services called GSA Advantage! that enables ordering offices to search product specific information (i.e. national stock number, part/number, common names), review delivery options, place orders directly with contractors (or ask GSA to place orders on the agency s behalf), and pay contractors for orders using the Government wide commercial purchase card (or pay GSA). Ordering offices may access the GSA Advantage! shopping service by connecting to the Internet and using a web browser to connect to the Acquisition Reform Network (http://www.arnet.gov) or the GSA, Federal Supply Services (FSS) Home Page (http://www.fss.gsa.gov). For More information or assistance, contact GSA at Internet e-mail address: gsa.advantage@gsa.gov.
(b) For proposed orders estimated at or below the micro-purchase threshold, the RFQ should be sent to at least three schedule contractors.
(c) If the proposed order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold, the RFQ may to be sent to any Federal Supply Schedule contractor.
(d) If the proposed order is estimated to exceed $750,000, the RFQ should be sent to additional schedule contractors or use the GSA Advantage! On-line shopping service.
(e) Proposed orders to be placed under this schedule contract by DoD agencies, where the estimated value of the order is expected to exceed $100,000, shall be placed on a competitive basis in accordance with the requirements of DFARS 208.404-70.
(f) RFQ s should be tailored to the minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection for order placement. Oral presentations should be considered, when possible.
3. Evaluate Quotes and Select the Contractor to Receive the Order: After evaluating the quotes against the factors identified in the RFQ, the order should be placed with the contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special qualifications, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government s needs.
Blanket Purchasing Agreements (BPAs) for recurring services are permitted when the procedures outlined herein are followed. All BPAs for services must define the services that may be ordered under the BPA, along with delivery or performance time frames, billing procedures, etc. The potential volume of orders under BPAs, regardless of the size of individual orders, may offer the Ordering Office the opportunity to secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs, Ordering Offices shall inform contractors in the RFQs (based on the agency s requirement) if a single BPA or multiple BPAs will be established, and indicate the basis that will be used for selecting the contractors to be awarded the BPAs.

BAE Systems is a major support participant in the Chief of Naval Training (CNET) curriculum development and maintenance effort for training both the U.S. and the U.K navies on the TRIDENT Strategic Weapons System (SWS). Our staff develops Interactive Courseware (ICW) to support all levels of training, including equipment simulation and operator response to task performance as well as administrative and/or academic material presentation. We have the ability to present topics in various media, and we can provide training either in-house or on-site at the client location. Also, via various delivery media (videotape, CD-ROM, PowerPoint, and traditional face-to-face instructor/classroom scenario), we can provide interactive training that can be used remotely via Intranet or Internet.
BAE Systems provides training that supports the logistics systems and services we offer to our customers. Training work is done for the U.S. Navy and other services at Crystal City, VA, Bangor, WA, and Pearl Harbor, HI. The extensive use of classroom training and on-the-job training, using a variety of training aids from simulators and CD ROMs to interactive video, overhead slides and training material, provides significant training services and training capability for our logistics customers.
BAE Systems provides services that integrate systems engineering functions with the typical logistics functions. Two examples, presented in more detail below, include the Automated Logistics Systems program that uses an integrated/automated database for Strategic Weapons System (SWS) programs connecting U.S. and U.K. TRIDENT submarine data, and the NASA Consolidated Space Operations Contract (CSOC) logistics operation s e-commerce on-line system approach to providing logistics support to NASA.
BAE Systems developed the Comprehensive Logistics Automated Support Program (CLASP) for the U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Program (SSP). SSP is responsible for providing the U.K. with logistics data required to support the U.K. TRIDENT II Strategic Weapons System (SWS). CLASP is an automated logistics information system that effectively interfaces with the U.K. and U.S. legacy supply and logistics systems, providing a myriad of logistics support functions. These functions include requisition processing, reparable item tracking, discrepancy reports monitoring, Strategic Systems Programs Alteration (SPALT) status and monitoring, maintenance of U.S.-provided allowance data, maintenance of item management data, mingled item processing, management of U.K. material stored in the U.S., and customs reports for material shipped to the U.K. CLASP also contains a configuration management and reporting system to support CLASP system review by both U.S. and U.K. users, and continuous improvement processes.
BAE Systems believes this automated logistics systems capability can be provided to other Government agencies to assist in managing large logistics programs. The system links many of the individual functions listed under Supply and Value Chain Management Services, Acquisition Logistics, Distribution and Transportation Logistics, and Deployment Logistics (SINs 874-501, -502, -503, and -504). We have the capability to develop systems to interface between different logistics databases and operating systems, using and adapting Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software, Government-provided-Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) software, or customer-provided software. The experiences gained from developing the automated logistics systems capability for the U.S. Navy played an important role in the development of the e-commerce approach used to solve the NASA CSOC logistics consolidation problems.
The BAE Systems CSOC program serves to consolidate multiple logistics operations within the NASA community to provide a more economical, efficient, and accountable means of meeting the goals for NASA Space Programs. BAE Systems uses a modified COTS software solution to aid them in consolidating logistics operations at 10 NASA Centers and global operation sites, provide systems-wide asset visibility and management, integrate the procurement operations with all logistics sites, and provide a seamless environment between maintenance and logistics. The logistics operation uses a CSOC Wide Area Network (WAN) to serve the regional logistics facilities while centralizing a number of acquisition management, transportation management, inventory management, and administrative functions at the Consolidated Logistics Facility (CLF). These functions provide centralized program management, systems-wide asset visibility and catalog data and material identification, parts research and vendor search capability, and centralized transportation capability. Workstations are provided to the regional logistics facilities to allow online parts ordering and to provide inventory management across the entire NASA system. By centralizing the program, acquisition, inventory, and transportation management functions at the CLF, and using this e-commerce approach, BAE Systems and the CSOC contract have realized significant cost savings. BAE Systems believes that this on-line approach can help other Government agencies integrate their diverse logistics operations and realize significant cost savings.
