• Dramatic reduction in lead time to obtain services and products (typically a few weeks or less)
• Delivery Order awards are based on Best Value:
  
  • CBD Synopsis is NOT required;
  • Competitive requirements have been met;
  • Prices have been determined to be fair-and-reasonable, and;
  • All applicable laws and regulations have been applied (including small business set-asides)
• Can be used by all Federal agencies and the District of Columbia
• No maximum order limitations
• Contractor/Customer direct relationship - no transfer of funds to GSA
• Blanket Purchase Agreements can be established to negotiate even better pricing
• Use of contractor teams and subcontractors is encouraged

Authorized users of the GSA PES Schedule include:

• All Federal agencies and activities in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches
• Government contractors authorized in writing by a Federal agency pursuant to CFR 51.1
• Mixed ownership government corporations as defined in the Government Corporation Control Act
• The government of the District of Columbia
• Other activities and organizations authorized by statute or regulation to use the GSA as a source of supply

Strategic Planning for Technology Programs/Activities - Services involve the definition and interpretation of high-level organizational engineering performance requirements such as projects, systems, missions, etc., and the objectives and approaches to their achievement. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, an analysis of mission, program goals and objectives, requirements analysis, organizational performance assessment, special studies and analysis, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Concept Development and Requirements Analysis - Services involve abstract or concept studies and analysis, requirements definition, preliminary planning, the evaluation of alternative technical approaches and associated costs for the development or enhancement of high level general performance specifications of a system, project, mission, or activity. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, requirements analysis, cost/cost-performance trade-off analysis, feasibility analysis, regulatory compliance support, technology conceptual designs, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

System Design, Engineering and Integration - Services involve the translation of a system (or subsystem, program, project, activity) concept into a preliminary and detailed design (engineering plans and specifications), performing risk identification/analysis/mitigation, traceability, and then integrating the various components to produce a working prototype or model of the system. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, computer-aided design, design studies and analysis, high level detailed specification preparation, configuration management and document control, fabrication, assembly and simulation, modeling, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Test and Evaluation - Services involve the application of various techniques demonstrating that a prototype system (subsystem, program, project or activity) performs in accordance with the objectives outlined in the original design. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, testing of a prototype and first article(s) testing, environmental testing, independent verification and validation, reverse engineering, simulation and modeling (to test the feasibility of a concept), system safety, quality assurance, physical testing of the product or system, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Integrated Logistics Support - Services involve the analysis, planning, and detailed design of all engineering specific logistics support including material goods, personnel, and operational maintenance and repair of systems throughout their life cycles. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, ergonomic/human performance analysis, feasibility analysis, logistics planning, requirements determination, policy standards/procedures development, long-term reliability and maintainability, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Acquisition and Life Cycle Management - Services involve the entire planning, budgetary, contract, and systems/program management functions required to procure and/or produce, render operational, and provide life cycle support (maintenance, repair, supplies, and engineering specific logistics) to technology-based systems, activities, subsystems, projects, etc. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, operation and maintenance, program/project management, technology transfer/insertion, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

GSA's streamlined ordering procedures have reduced the tedious, time-consuming government procurement process to a few simple steps. GSA has accomplished this by pre-qualifying vendors to perform a wide range of services. GSA has reviewed vendor qualifications, capabilities, and cost schedules in advance of the need for services, and identified these vendors, by type of service, on its Advantage! website. This approval is valid for all organizations in the federal government and other governmental agencies, and the entire process can be completed in as little as a few weeks.

To obtain GSA PES Schedule services and products, you work directly with TeAM. Use the following simplified procedure for placing an order:

Prepare the Statement of Work (SOW) that addresses work to be accomplished, deliverables, period of performance, and other applicable requirements.

Issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to three approved GSA PES vendors. The vendors submit their proposals, or a "no bid" response to your contracting organization.

Conduct a review and select the best value contractor.

Place a delivery order directly with the selected contractor.

If desired, GSA Regional Offices are available to assist you during the procurement process under a fee-for-service arrangement, but GSA is not required to be involved in any of the steps outlined above.
