Task Order Request Developed and Distributed

Interagency Agreement - The customer contacts FEDSIM (Joyce Weishaupt, 703-306-7621) to initiate the work definition process and provides FEDSIM with a completed and signed interagency agreement.

Project Element Plan - The customer completes and provides to FEDSIM a Project Element Plan, including a brief description of the requirement and estimated cost information.

Documents Finalized - The customer may need assistance in synopsizing requirements into a formal Statement of Work (SOW), deciding on the appropriate type of contract to be used, and determining whether the procurement effort will be competitive or directed to a single vendor.

Evaluation criteria should also be specified. The scope and period of performance may cover multi-years and may have optional tasks. Pricing of optional tasks may or may not be required.

STAGE TWO - DELIVERY ORDER PLACEMENT

TOR Developed and Distributed - A Statement of Work and TOR with proposal preparation instructions are e-mailed to contractors (advance notice of pending TOR release precedes final TOR release).

Technical Proposals Submitted/Orals Brief-Off - Contractors prepare and submit technical and cost proposals for consideration. Written and/or oral technical proposals will address all paragraphs of the SOW. Resumes of key personnel will be provided. If oral briefings are requested, selected vendors are normally scheduled for a 30-minute presentation with an additional 30 minutes to address customer questions and answers.

Negotiate and Award Task Order - The customer evaluates all written and/or oral technical responses, evaluates cost proposals against the Independent Government Estimate (IGE), prepares a best value analysis, and awards the task/delivery order to the vendor judged to provide the best value.
