How to Use This GuideChapters 1 through 3 provide general information, roles and responsibilities, and Program Support Center (PSC) ordering procedures. Appendices A through F provide PSC’s contractor agency list, specific task order procedures, a task order request package consisting of a checklist and instructions, a sample format for a Statement of Work (SOW), a template for a memorandum to PSC, and information specific to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Operating and Staff Divisions (OPDIVs-STAFFDIVs).

The information will help customers develop task orders and Contracting Officers evaluate the material accompanying a task order request. Appendices G and H are a technical glossary and an acronym list.

1.3 Contract Team

This BPA was awarded on October 28, 2010, as a result of an open and competitive General Services Administration (GSA) solicitation. The contract (GS-07F-0029M HHSP23320110001XB) awarded to Securityhunter is supported by the following subcontractors:

• PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP

• Northrop Grumman

• Stanley Convergent Security Solutions

• CertiPath, LLC

• Tetra Tech

• Chugach Federal Solutions, Inc.

Securityhunter is a Multiple Award Schedule 84 GSA contractor. Additionally, subcontractors offer goods and services available on GSA Multiple Award Schedules 58i, 70, and 84. Using these contracts will help to reduce the overhead associated with multiple acquisitions. In addition, aggregation of demand provides the government with purchasing leverage encouraging vendors to offer the best possible prices because of economies of scale.

For specific capabilities of each teaming partner, see Appendix A.

1.4 PSC Best Practices

The ordering guidelines contained herein are in concert with federal procurement best practices and focus on the following:

• Establishing simplified ordering procedures and award documentation

• Managing multiple task order awards with highly skilled, responsible contractor teams of industry experts (large, small, woman owned, etc.) who possess a wide variety of expertise

• Scheduling periodic meetings between the PSC, the prime contractor team, and the customer to discuss administrative matters, future requirements, and any adjustments to the ordering process

• Ensuring accurate application of Section 508 “Electronic and IT Accessibility Standards” during all phases of a task order life cycle, from establishment of requirements to closeout

2. Roles and ResponsibilitiesThe following subsections describe the roles and responsibilities of the primary contracting Points of Contact (POCs) for matters regarding BPA administration.

2.1 Program Support Center (PSC)

PSC manages the BPA and works closely with both the Contracting Officers and the prime contractor to oversee the issuance of task orders. Specifically, PSC is responsible for:

• Ensuring customers are aware of their responsibilities and the scope of products and services under the BPA

• Ensuring all task orders comply with the terms, conditions, requirements, specifications, details, and/or delivery schedules set forth in the BPA

• Addressing and satisfying the needs of all participants in the process

• Maintaining a level of program integrity that prevents contractual or programmatic problems

Appendix F Information for HHS CustomersThe applicable PSC Service Areas, that is, the Administrative Operations Service (AOS) and the Information System Management Service (ISMS), are available to work directly with customers and PSC prime contractors, throughout the acquisition process. These Service Areas provide assistance, support, and overall contract management or administration. As such, AOS and ISMS, guided by directives from other organizations, develop, employ, and promulgate procedures and templates that support those directives.

PSC Contracting Officers are authorized task order Contracting Officers for purposes of this BPA. All warranted PSC Contracting Officers are available to conduct acquisitions on behalf of customers, in particular for those who do not have a contracting office or capability. Such actions shall be coordinated with AOS and ISMS.

Upon request of the task order Contracting Officer, AOS and ISMS shall assist in creating the task order. AOS and ISMS can offer advice regarding one or more of the following issues:

• Applicability of the SOW with respect to scope

• Realism of the IGCE

• Appropriateness of the selected contract type (FFP vs. T&M)

• Adequacy of the justification used for the exception to the requirements for fair opportunity to be considered

Appendix GPSC Glossary This glossary is not intended to be a comprehensive list of acquisition terminology. These terms are commonly found within this ordering guide and are included for clarification.

Best Value – The expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. It involves the analysis of technical and cost proposals to determine which proposal offers the best trade-off between price/cost and performance, where quality is considered an integral performance factor. See Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.101.

Firm Fixed-Price Contract – A contract suitable for acquiring commercial items or for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of reasonable definite functional or detailed specifications, when the contracting officer can establish fair and reasonable prices at the outset.

Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) – Assists the task order contracting officer in determining the reasonableness of a contractor’s cost and technical proposals. The customer prepares the IGCE and submits it as part of the procurement request. It is for GOVERNMENT USE ONLY and should not be made available to the PSC contractors.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) – A producer/manufacturer that provides a product to its customers, who then proceeds to modify or bundle the product before distributing it to their customers.

Service Level Agreement (SLA) – A formal written agreement established between two parties: the contractor and the Government customer. It defines the expected level of services, the metrics associated with these services, acceptable and unacceptable service levels, and incentive awards for service levels exceeded and/or penalty provisions for services not provided.

Statement of Work (SOW) – A type of work statement that describes the need for the goods or services, the scope of work to be performed, applicable documents, specific tasks, deliverables and delivery schedule, Government-furnished property and information, place and period of performance, and security requirements.

Task Order (TO) – An order for services placed against an established contract or with Government sources. In the case of the PSC acquisition, TOs are orders for services placed against contracts awarded under the BPA.

Time-and-Materials Contract – A contract that provides for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates; include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and materials at cost, including, if appropriate, material handling costs as part of material costs. A time-and-materials contract may be used only when it is not possible at the time the task order is executed to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work, or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence.
