  1. Thank you everyone for your assistance. I'd like to add that a majority of our task orders are under the SAT. For under the SAT task orders, we've been using the short selection process where the engineers review the SF330s on file without discussions and select the top three firms by ranking them and then we go directly to the top ranked firm to begin negotiating. We've done this without "discussions" with the rationale that discussions were held for the parent IDIQ.
  2. My agency has a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with let's say 25 AE Firms. For projects under $250k, Is it possible to have the engineers review the SF330s on file for each task order and then provide a list of the top three ranked and then begin negotiating with the top ranked firm without holding discussions? The FAR is clear on what to do when selecting an AE firm using the short selection process, but I don't see where an IDIQ is considered after the firms have all been determined qualified at the parent contract level. Or, are we still required to hold discussions with the interested AE firms to rank them before negotiations?
  3. This will be used by government employees.
  4. I'm definitely taking all the advice that's been shared so far. I use this site often to get information in plain language and use it to help make decisions when policy can be vague.
  5. No, it'll be competitive. Those are all good requirements to consider. Thank you
  6. Thanks, I think you've pointed me in the right direction
  7. Warranty, condition, sail ability plus the unknown value without an official appraisal. I'm sure I can come up with minimum salient characteristic requirements, but are there procedures specific to purchasing used items?
  8. I have a PR to purchase a "pre owned" salt water boat. I can't find anything prohibiting it, but have no experience doing so. I'm worried about risk to both the taxpayer as well as the employees utilizing the boat. The magnitude of this purchase is over $100k. Does anyone have any recommendations?
  9. Hi, I recently solicited a $20k service contract and found out after the fact that there exists an optional internal IDIQ that I could have issued a task order to. Would it be appropriate to cancel the open market solicitation on FBO and go direct to the IDIQ?
  10. Thanks Joel. I think I will proceed with allowing them to attend after having them sign a non disclosure agreement. I appreciate your feedback.
  11. Thanks for the feedback. CON 243 also uses the word "interview" and is "commonly used in industry and some federal agencies as the equivalent of discussions as used in FAR 36. These discussions are not the same as those described in FAR 15." My question is whether or not it's appropriate to allow observers at these interviews since the interviews are source selection sensitive? The board is made up of experts in the fields of Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Acquisition professionals. I'm being asked if additional observers are allowed in addition to the appointed board members.
  12. Hi, I'm planning my interviews for phase II source selection of AE services for a MATOC. Is it appropriate to allow other COs and Engineers that are not part of the SSEB to attend as observers? The COs are wanting to attend for training purposes and the engineers are wanting to attend as a way to learn about the firms that they may be working with in the future. My inclination is to say no. This is source selection sensitive information, but I cannot find anything that talks about observers.
