SLK Contractor Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 A Navy agency wants to give us a project around $750K. Our prime has a SeaPort contract. Within the SeaPort contract the prime was issued a broad Task Order (TO). Within that TO’s scope the prime was issued a specific Delivery Order (DO). Then the prime issued us a CPFF Purchase Order (PO). The TO and the DO expire in July 2015. All parties agree on the LOE ($750K) and that that the PO work will take 12 months (from Oct 2014 to Oct 2015) and thus exceeds the period of performance of the TO/DO (again, July 2015). Questions: Is it necessary that the prime requests an extension in the period of performance of the TO and/or of the DO (which one or both?)? What is the preferred way to handle the situation on our end? What is the likelihood that the CO will/will-not grant an extension considering that the Navy will incur more cost if they have to split the SOW into two parts, recomplete, etc. and conversely there is no additional cost if a time extension was granted?

here_2_help Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 "A Navy agency wants to give us a project around $750K. Our prime has a SeaPort contract." I am unclear on the logical connection between these two sentences. If a Navy agency awards to your company a project, wouldn't that be, by definition, a prime contract and not a TO/DO under another prime's contract? ??

SLK Contractor Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Sorry I wasn't clear, it is a company who currently has a prime contract with the Navy who wants our services, so they can complete a project for the Navy. So we would be a subcontractor. Does that clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vern Edwards Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 What I suspect he really means is that the Navy wants to use the prime as a front for getting to the sub through Seaport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
