Fixed-Unit Price Contract


Recommended Posts

A solicitation (competitive) for a fixed unit price type contract was issued to acquire the services of a contractor to match sample addresses against the contractor?s database. As described in the Performance Work Statement, the end-user will furnish an automated list of approximately 220,000 to 380,000 sample addresses to obtain published home telephone numbers matched to the listed addresses from the contractor. The contractor is expected to match no less than 30 percent.

Section B of the solicitation required the offeror to propose approximately 70,000 ? 130,000 matches per month. The offeror selected for award proposed an average of 100,000 matches per month.

From March 2010 to February 1, 2011, the contractor has only matched 74,941 ? 78,381 records out of 232,469 ? 233,747 sample addresses provided. However, the highest number of records matched, in March 2011, was 115,865 out of 353,768 sample addresses provided.

The end-user requested a contract change to increase the number of sample addresses so that the contractor can produce a larger number of (170,000) matches; however, the additional sample addresses to be provided to the contractor monthly is within the range of 220,000 to 380,000.

My concerns are: 1) the contractor?s proposed average of 100,000 versus 70,000 ? 130,000; 2) the contractor has only matched 74,941 ? 78,381; 3) the end-user wants to add more funding.

Please advise.
