STEP 1 - CUSTOMER PREPARES TASK REQUEST AND ACO REQUESTS PROPOSALS

A task request is either posted via the GSA electronic system or sent to contractors to specify the work to be accomplished by the contractor to satisfy a particular task requirement. As a minimum, each task request will include:

A description of the work to be performed;
The desired delivery schedule and/or required completion date(s), as applicable;
Additional acceptance criteria, if any;
Reporting requirements and list of deliverables;
The date and time by which the response is due;
Travel and supply requirements, if any;
Desired type of pricing, i.e., FFP, CPFF, CPAF, T&M;
Instructions, conditions, and notices to offerors; and
Evaluation factors (After initial orders are performed, past performance under this Contract will always be an evaluation factor)

STEP 2 - CONTRACTOR PROVIDES ACO WITH STATEMENT OF INTENT

The Contractor shall, within the time frame specified in each task request, provide the ACO with a statement indicating intent to propose or reasons for not proposing for the specific requirements.

STEP 3 - CONTRACTOR SUBMITS REQUESTS FOR CLARIFICATION (RFC)

The Contractor shall, within the timeframe specified in each task request, provide the ACO with any questions regarding the requirement.

STEP 4 - ACO PROVIDES RESPONSE TO RFCs

The ACO shall, within the timeframe specified in each task request, provide all participating Contractors with questions asked and answered regarding the requirements.

STEP 5 - CONTRACTOR PROVIDES RESPONSE TO TASK REQUEST

The Contractor shall, within the timeframe specified in each task request, provide the ACO with a written proposal via GSA electronic system.

In lieu of a written technical proposal, the Contractor shall demonstrate their technical proposal through an oral presentation. In the timeframe specified in each task request, each participating Contractor will be afforded the opportunity to make an oral presentation, not to exceed the time frame specified by the ACO, of capabilities to perform the requirement. To maintain fairness without an adverse impact on the award schedule, presentation times shall be randomly provided to the participating Contractors by the ACO at the same time previous step is completed. After the oral presentation, the Government will reserve a set amount of time to be determined by the ACO to address clarifications regarding the presentation.

STEP 6 - ACO EVALUATES AND AWARDS TASK ORDER

The Government anticipates award based upon initial offers. Should all initial proposals contain deficiencies which would preclude award based upon initial offers, the ACO will enter into oral and/or written discussions to resolve deficiencies. In the event discussions are necessary, each Offeror will be notified and provided an opportunity to submit a Final Proposal Revision. Upon receipt of a Final Proposal Revision, the ACO will complete evaluation and award the task order through GSA electronic system (if GSA) or other means (if outside GSA).
