Innovative contract is a success with agencies! GSA’s Southeast Sunbelt Region developed an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity cost engineering contract that can be used by any Federal agency or any Federally sponsored project contractor. The contract meets all of the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulations on multiple award contracting, but still recognizes the contracts as technical in nature with price secondary to technical qualifications in selecting contractors. Each task order for this contract is placed to the contractor selected for that task order as being the most qualified. After a contractor is selected, the price is based on the negotiated contract.
Other Federal agencies pay a fee to GSA based on the magnitude of the contractor and the assistance that GSA is asked to provide during the procurement contract. To date, eight of GSA’s eleven Regions have used the contracts, with the other three Regions expressing an interest in using the contract in the future. The Departments of State, the Interior, and Defense have placed approximately $1.8 million in orders.
