15.404-1(d)(2) Class Deviation (Cost realism when establishing MAC IDIQ's)

[JThomas]

I believe this is a class deviation from GSA, but I'm having a hard time tracking down the source (I pulled the text below from a GSA RFP). Also, I'm wondering if there is anything similar for DoD?

Thank you for the links. 

Background: I'm not using a GSA schedule. I'm in the process of establishing a MAC for a DoD component and came across the subject deviation in a GSA RFP during my research for the SSP. The deviation seems like a very logical approach that would save us a lot of time in the MAC pre-award process. Unfortunately, it looks like it is only a GSA deviation.

** Does anyone know how to unlock a WIFCON account that is linked to a unusable email address? I was working in Singapore for the last 3 years and I can't get into my account now that I'm back. My old account is linked to my Singapore email address which I can no longer check (@fe.navy.mil vs. @navy.mil) so I'm not able to reset my password. I tried sending an email to the admin, but did not get a response back.
