Contract Continuity Agenda Contract Continuity Orders Blanket Purchase Agreements Streamlined Procedures for MAS Proposals Dual MAS Contract Functionality 11
Contract Continuity - Orders NOTE: GSA recently added clause 52.216-22 (Oct 1995) which allows for performance of orders to extend up to 60 months beyond contract expiration
Contract Continuity - BPAs FAR 8.405: (1) The ordering activity contracting officer shall review the BPA and determine in writing, at least once a year (e.g., at option exercise), whether— (i) The schedule contract, upon which the BPA was established, is still in effect;
Streamlined MAS Procedures Eligibility: • Follow-on Contractors in year 14+ • Proposing same SINs as currently awarded • Has met minimum sales requirement • Demonstrated satisfactory past performance
Streamlined MAS Procedures Contracting Officer has ability to waive requirement for: • Readiness Assessment • “Pathways to Success” • Financial Statements • Open Ratings • Technical Proposal – Corporate Experience • Technical Proposal – Relevant Project Experience • Other schedule-specific requirements that could be carried over from the current contract – Example: information regarding certification or testing of products
Overlapping (Dual) MAS Contracts Eligibility: • Follow-on Contractors in year 14+ • Active BPAs or orders under their current MAS contract
Overlapping (Dual) MAS Contracts Process: • Modification to existing contract to outline: – Summary of existing BPAs/orders • Period of performance on BPAs/orders must justify dual contract – Proposed cancellation date of current contract • Existing MAS contract should be scheduled to expire after orders/BPAs are complete • NOTE: Contract cancellation is final – Contractors agreement to direct all new orders/BPAs to their new contract • Once this modification is complete, a new MAS contract award can be made for a dual contract
Overlapping (Dual) MAS Contracts Notes: • The new MAS proposal must replicate the existing contract. • Contractor must be capable of meeting contractual requirements of both contracts – Including updated mass mods, minimum sales, subcontracting plans, etc. • Prices under new contract will be determined fair and reasonable independent of the existing contract (similar to exercising an option) • Some contracting activities utilize “transition language” that transitions existing BPAs and orders to the new MAS contract and eliminate the need for dual contracts – This is not a universally accepted practice and is typically handled on a case by case basis
