ORDERS

All requests for shipments or performance of individual jobs under this contract shall be issued via an order placed by the Contracting Officer. This task order will contain the following information:

(a)Name of Contractor,

(b)Contract number

(c)Date of purchase

(d)Purchase number

(e)Name of person placing order

(f)Itemized list of shipment and services furnished

(g)Quantity, unit price, and total price of each item or service, less applicable discounts

Orders may be placed orally initially, but must be followed up in writing within 48 hours via issuance of a task order. Only a Contracting Officer may place an order, either orally or in writing.

“If more than one contractor has received an award for these services, the following procedures shall govern the issuance of individual orders. No work shall be performed without an order being issued to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer.

(1)As the need for services arises, the Government will develop a price estimate. If the estimate does not exceed US$3,000, the Government will follow the procedures in paragraph (2) below. If the estimate exceeds US$3,000, the Government will follow the procedures in paragraph (3) below.

(2)Orders not exceeding US$3,000 - The Government will select a contractor for issuance of the order. This decision will be based on the Government's best interests, which may include factors such as estimated price and past performance record.

(3)Orders exceeding US$3,000 - Unless one of the exceptions in paragraph (5), below, applies, the Government will follow one of the following two scenarios:

(a)The Government will request each contractor to perform, AT NO COST TO THE GOVERNMENT, a pre-shipment survey after which the Contractor will present an estimate to the Government. Whether or not the Contractor is selected for an individual order, the Government shall not be liable for any claim from the Contractor for the costs of performing the pre-shipment survey. Selection will be based on a combination of estimated price and past performance information; or

(b)If the Contracting Officer can establish which Contractor’s prices will result in the lowest price for the individual order without requesting a pre-shipment survey, the Government will make its award selection based upon the prices set forth in the contract and past performance information gained as a result of contractor performance under this contract.

(4)Regardless of whether the procedures in paragraph (2) or (3) above were followed, selection of contractors shall not be protestable to GAO under Subpart 33.1 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, except on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract. However, the Department of State does have an Acquisition Ombudsman who will review complaints by contractors to ensure that all contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for these task orders, pursuant to the procedures for award of task orders established herein.
