  1. Yes, we can determine it based on days. The vendor would submit that pricing. Thanks @joel hoffman
  2. I have a FFP severable contract which now the government would like to use 52.217-8 to extend. The program office wants to extend it for 15 days under that clause. Does it matter how many days it's extended, given it doesn't go over 6 months? Meaning, must you exercise it on a monthly basis as the contract currently is or can it be extended for 15 days or another number?
  3. @Retreadfed the vendor isn't using the last option years pricing anymore and has increased the amount for the next 6 months under that clause. I'm not sure how else to explain that 52.217-8 was included in the contract.
  4. If a contract has 52.217-8 included and was competed on full and open competition, but the vendor now increases that amount, can we do a JOFOC for the difference in amount or do a new contract for those 6 months? The original 52.217-8 was included in the original contract and was evaluated during the solicitation process. It's a FFP contract.
  5. It's a FAR 15. It's LPTA as well. If you would use that in discussions, how would you construct that question to be asked? I appreciate the assistance @joel hoffman. It's a Department of Commerce contract as well.
  6. If I have a vendor that submitted a proposal for a Firm Fixed Price severable services contract and the vendor didn't submit enough manpower the technical panel suggests is enough to complete the project every month, is that enough to remove them if we have discussions. Just trying to see if that can be done. Basically, it's a basic janitorial contract. I figure if we're going to hold discussions, then that might not be enough to remove them from consideration, but others argue that point in the office.
  7. Can you remove a contractor from consideration for award, if they notify you that they've had a previous contract terminated for default within the last 3 years? Just an overall question.
  8. Thanks @Voyager @Vern Edwards and @C Culham!
  9. I agree @joel hoffman. The government is thinking about doing a Cure Notice and then terminating the contract for cause, but I was just wondering if the government truly decided to remove that CLIN, could they do that. Thanks
  10. It's a commercial type contract @C Culham.
  11. On a FFP contract, if the government wants to remove a CLIN that was added in the contract, can they do that? Also, if the government wanted to remove a task associated with a specific CLIN, can the government just remove that task from the CLIN? I'm thinking it wouldn't be fair to the other vendors during the solicitation phase, as maybe a vendor would've submitted had that specific task not been in there. Any thoughts?
  12. Thanks again to @Vern Edwards@Don Mansfield and everyone who commented. This really helped.
  13. @ji20874I get that, but if the country is having a strike, how are we going to harm the contractor for this contract? Can we use the 52.212-4 to use a delay? Thanks
  14. I have a commercial contract that needs to be paused, due to a strike going on. I know Stop Work orders are done for non-commercial contracts, but I was wondering what advice people could provide in this situation. The strike may last a few days or even longer. Thanks
  15. Thanks @Vern Edwardsfor the quick response.
  16. Yes @Vern Edwards. I apologize but that's what I'm referring to. Thanks
  17. Yes, using that information would be justified, right? @Vern Edwards
  18. Hey @Vern Edwards. No this vendor is not a small business
  19. Hey @joel hoffmanand thanks for the kind words. The contract is currently ongoing. so maybe we can use that, as long as the information is documented in the file for the current contract. Legal is reviewing it, but even if we hold discussions and eliminate that vendor based on their lack of information, they still wouldn't be included. That's still fair to do, right? Regarding the other contractor that's currently going through a contract that we're not happy with, I have a hard time awarding them a new contract, when we know that they aren't meeting the standards of the current one. Just doesn't seem right for the government to do.
  20. Based on 9.104-1, it seems as though I could use this, but what's your thoughts. Thanks again
  21. I apologize @Vern Edwardsand @joel hoffmanas I was dealing with a family situation. 1. Yes, it's being conducted under 15.3 2. We found this specific vendor technically unacceptable, but only base on their information not being able to be verified and not so much on their price. I spoke with legal but haven't gotten a response back as of yet. The also have another situation with this vendor as well, as they have another contract with us as well. The issue is, we've had numerous exchanges with this vendor which were documented showing their lack of ability to follow the terms in the contract, but didn't formally do a cure notice. Is that enough information to remove them from source selection? Thanks again for the great discussion.
  22. I have a contract that had 5 proposals submitted for award under a LPTA format. One of the vendors price is extremely low, meaning like a million dollars less than the other competitors. The issue is, this vendor bids on every single solicitation, even if it's not their brand of work and always provide fake emails or Point of Contacts. In order to minimize the risk of a protest, how do we write the evaluation factors to eliminate this vendor. Thanks
