lawyergirl Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hello: I had a question regarding the CIOSP4 RFP that requires at least one member of a CTA to have an "approved" purchasing system. I am looking to understand whether offerors must have a currently "functioning" or "producing" purchasing system, or is it just that offerors must have capabilities for an approved accounting system? In other words, its a question of currently using vs. having the abilities and functions in place for when needed. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

ji20874 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I recommend you talk to the CIOSP4 contracting officer at NITAAC. No one here knows what they mean. Crowdsourcing answers works much of the time, but I don't think it will work for this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerfed Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 @lawyergirl, Wendy, ji20874’s advice is solid. Ask that question to the CO. I quickly scanned the RFP and see your question pertains to self-scoring. (It may also be elsewhere but I only spent a couple minutes looking). From my reading, I think an offeror or CTA member must have an approved system at time of offer submission. Since orders can be cost-reimbursable, I don’t think the government wants to chance an awardee is capable of being approved after award. If I were the CO, I would want an offeror to have a currently approved system with submission of offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
