  1. Who is the sub's BOA? GSA will generally not allow a federal agency to serve as basis of award, as the Price Reductions Clause states:
  2. FWIW, USPS holds a Schedule 48 contract #GS-33F-0036V.
  3. Are you thinking of Small Business Fair Competition Act (H.R. 3558)?
  4. I've heard this before and find it baffling. Merriam-Webster, for example, defines a vendor as a "seller." 72A reporting, electronic mod submission, etc., is handled through GSA's vsc.gsa.gov, the Vendor Support Center.
  5. I believe Refresh 23 or so inserted 52.222-51. I'm not a schedule holder, so I can't tell you if a mass mod came out. New WDs do not result in higher rates under the schedule contract when that contract is based on a commercial price list. The inability of vendors to support the Wage Determinations, and especially H&W, which is not commonly paid in the temp staffing industry, has caused TAPS to largely move to a cost buildup approach.
  6. Schedule orders, assuming they are not using Recovery Act funds, need never appear in FBO. Ordering procedures for BPAs are as follows (8.405-3): ( Ordering from BPAs? (1) Single BPA. If the ordering activity establishes one BPA, authorized users may place the order directly under the established BPA when the need for the supply or service arises. (2) Multiple BPAs. If the ordering activity establishes multiple BPAs, before placing an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, the ordering activity shall? (i) Forward the requirement, or statement of work and the evaluation criteria, to an appropriate number of BPA holders, as established in the BPA ordering procedures; and (ii) Evaluate the responses received, make a best value determination (see 8.404(d)), and place the order with the BPA holder that represents the best value. (3) BPAs for hourly rate services. If the BPA is for hourly rate services, the ordering activity shall develop a statement of work for requirements covered by the BPA. All orders under the BPA shall specify a price for the performance of the tasks identified in the statement of work. © Duration of BPAs. BPAs generally should not exceed five years in length, but may do so to meet program requirements. Contractors may be awarded BPAs that extend beyond the current term of their GSA Schedule contract, so long as there are option periods in their GSA Schedule contract that, if exercised, will cover the BPA?s period of performance.
  7. In a word, yes. Just note that this requires extra caution on your part to ensure each part of work is within scope for its corresponding underlying schedule.
