  1. Thank you MileHighAcq. We will reach out to the contacts listed.
  2. C. Culham, thank you, I will check those out. Bob, we have already talked to multiple commercial companies, state and foreign governments. We are working on the Federal government now.
  3. Bob, we are working for DPAP. The deliverable is a report that will be sent to Congress. Thanks for helping me clarify.
  4. I am NOT looking for pilot program contracts (they are not doing them yet). I am sorry that that was not clear. I am looking for service contracts that are specifically multi-year contracts of whatever length. We are trying to understand when and why that specific authority is used. It appears to be used very rarely. I hope that clears it up a bit. We have found many other types of contracts (ESPCs, services under working capital funds etc.) that have been very helpful to us.
  5. Joel, Yes, I agree that all the suggestions are helpful to understanding best practices. We have been talking to offices using those contracts. The NDAA calls for pilots for service contracts longer than 5 years, and DPAP hopes that our study will help inform it. What I am trying to find right now, are any examples of contracts actually using the multi-year authority for service contracts. It appears to be very rare and we have found just one.
  6. Thank you all for your suggestions. We have looked at ESPCs. They fall under a different authority, but we have talked to people using them to learn about their best practices. I am very familiar with FPDS. However, the data in the check box is not reliable. I am not sure what people are using the check box for, but they aren't actual multi-years. We have actually found other long term service contracts (under working capital funds, utilities, the ESPCs mentioned above) and talked to the offices managing them, but they are not using the multi-year authority. It has been a surprise to us that the multi-year option appears to be so seldom used for service contracts. Posting here was a bit of a hail mary. We will definitely check out the chemical demilitarization program, it certainly seems to be a good candidate. Thank you Joel Hoffman.
  7. By multi-year I am referring to the contracts defined in FAR part 17. I am aware of multi-years used for purchasing weapons systems, but as mentioned above, only one for services. I had thought we might find some that were for performance base logistics, or maintenance, repair and overhaul, but we haven't.
  8. Thank you. We have talked to Army Contracting. We have talked to many DoD offices. So far, we have found one multi-year service contract. We were hoping to potentially find one outside of DoD.
  9. We are looking for multiyear, not multiple year. We have talked to PSC, but are looking for additional contacts. Thank you.
  10. My name is Susan Rose with the Institute for Defense Analyses. I am working on a study for Congress regarding best practices/lessons learned in the use of longer term - I.e. greater than 5 years - multiyear service contracts (see attached). We are having difficulty finding anyone who has used multiyear service contracts. If you have used multiyear service contracts and are willing to be talk to us about it, please contact me. Thank you.
