GSA Schedule Ordering Process

GSA Schedule Information

Ordering process:

• Identify and quantify requirements
• Discuss requirements with PA and agree on a Statement of Work
• Review price lists from three schedule vendors and develop independent cost estimate (price lists available online from GSA or PA)
• Submit justification, funding document and statement of work to contracting office, which sends Request for Quote (RFQ) to PA
• PA Government Services submits quote (firm fixed price or T&M ceiling price) based on MOBIS price schedule
• Make selection based on best value¹
• Send approved task order to PA Government Services Inc using approved GSA purchase order form (Opt. Form 347, Std. Form 1449).

¹ A best value selection incorporates considerations besides lowest price, including past performance, special features in the product/service, and technical qualifications.

RFQ contents:

• Performance based description of work
• Deliverables and delivery schedule
• Pricing structure
• Applicable standards
• Acceptance criteria
• Special requirements, if any.
