I mistakenly thought this forum was a place to ask questions and seek opinions of others. I am NEVER about to get into a spar war with anyone. As a PCO I often like to see what other people at different agencies think about certain things. Not that it will change my outcome but sometimes it does. I never want to be that person with my heels dug I’m so far as to not see other options or a way of looking at things. The rude and sarcastic comments are a bit much. Carry on if you like but that is not my character so I will not join in. thanks.

I am not sure if you all read all of each post I’ve submitted. Yes I’m DoD. I have stated multiple times that I do not plan to allow this charge. As it relates to an ODC CLIN that absolutely is a thing, just as a travel CLIN is a such thing. My question was had anyone ever heard of this being done, that keeps being missed. I am not seeking ways to do it as I don’t agree with the cost. There are BPA in place for these services.

My question was had anyone out there allowed the charging of WiFi services via an ODC CLIN. I’m not trying to get into their accounting system because I’m not allowing them to do it on MY contract (follow on). They’re currently charging it (at the governments request) on the existing contract. I was inquiring about the experience of others not necessarily the logistics of how it should be done. The government should absolutely have used the BPA to procure these services.

Customer means the program office. I am a PCO. No ODCs were identified at RFP release. FFP contract $27M task order. Contract states there will be assistance needed with the testing events but nothing about WiFi AT ALL. There is a totally different development contract that they support with testing. The Air Force networks blocks certain sites they feel aren’t needed or appropriate. The sites are actual testing sites but out COMM department blocks them. My issue is that the WiFi service on the existing contract is billed by Verizon to one of the contractor employees credit cards and they in turn are billing the contract for reimbursement. None of this to me fits any definition of ODC.

Has anyone heard of paying for Mobile Hotspot devices and service using a contracts ODC CLIN? The customer says they use the WiFi to conduct development testing because the base AFNET WiFi blocks the sites they need to get to in order to test. The contract they want to charge it on is an A&AS program office support contract. I do NOT see how this fits the definition of an Other Direct Cost.

SmallGovCon’s 2017 NDAA Government Contracting Roundup

With the change of not having to consider price on a multiple award contract, how does that affect the trade off process? Does one now redefine tradeoff in this scenario? Ask for deviation from SS procedures? -
Thank you all. I had the same reference it's just odd to add work that may be out of scope and not think of a JA.

Although a J&A is not required to award an 8a Direct Award, what is the consensus about modifications to a direct award. For example, adding work that is essentially out of scope. Is a J&A not required because it's an 8a? I can't find a reference anywhere that speaks to this specifically. Surely work can't just be added and added with no justification....

It was a question being tossed around the office. One CO said do a Fair Opportunity Exception document (FOE) but I don't see what the exception would be for this. They suggested logical follow on but I don't interpret logical follow in to mean what most people utilize it for...so I'm curious what other exception fits??

What would your exception be?

Your thoughts... Negotiated sustainment task order. Awarded with a base and 1 twelve month option. The PMO wants to align their sustainment contract with development so that it can eventually be under one contract/task order. In order to accomplish this, they would need more time on the contract, The extension of services clause would only give them up to 6 months. Question: Can you add an option year to the contract without doing an FOE?
