Jess Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 We have a customer that would like to issue a $4M task order off of a FPAF IDIQ (O&M funded with FY10 funds) in June/July 2010 and make the award effective date for sometime in September 2010. Is this contractually and fiscally possible? Thanks, Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vern Edwards Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I agree with napolik. You can do it. But why do you want to? It seems an odd thing to do with a fixed-price order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the customer needs the service in September but needs to obligate $$ now. Otherwise, its low obligation rate puts its funding in jeopardy. So, obligate now; perform later.

Jess Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Napolik hit the nail on the head. The customer is afraid that the money will no longer be available in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Rather than make the effective date later, why not specify the period of performance as beginning in September? Messing with the effective date could have unintended consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woops85 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Rather than make the effective date later, why not specify the period of performance as beginning in September? Messing with the effective date could have unintended consequences. We deal with customers in Germany and any services contract has to be TESA certified by the German Government after award but prior to start of work. Our KOs leave the effective date as is and do as Vern suggests with a period of performance that starts 60-90 days from date of award (TESA approval can be a slow process sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
