kweegie Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 If a prime without an approved purchasing system wants to award a T&M subK to perform work on a prime's GSA Schedule Task Order (the subK is not on the GSA Schedule), does mapping the subK labor to the prime's GSA Schedule labor categories obviate the need for CO Consent to SubK. FAR 44.000 references Part 12 (not Part 2, defintion, or 8.4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 If a prime without an approved purchasing system wants to award a T&M subK to perform work on a prime's GSA Schedule Task Order (the subK is not on the GSA Schedule), does mapping the subK labor to the prime's GSA Schedule labor categories obviate the need for CO Consent to SubK. FAR 44.000 references Part 12 (not Part 2, defintion, or 8.4). Does the GSA contract contain the clause at FAR 52.244-2 or any special clause that requires consent to subcontract? If not, then the contractor does not require consent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerfed Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I agree with Vern. Subcontracting does not require consent. In fact, many GSA Schedule contract holders rountinely subcontract using pools of pre-established agreements to other companies and independent consultants to handle influxes of new work. The only thing to watch for is the subcontractors meeting all the criteria for experience, qualifications, etc., for the various labor categories that the prime does.
