PSS Offers Complementary SINs

What are Complementary SINs

SINs on loan from their respective single schedule

program offered through the PSS program for

ancillary use only

Allows an agency who has a task involving

professional services and IT to secure their needs

under one RFQ

These can NOT be used to secure ldquostand-alonerdquo

services for IT HR or Energy Management

7

PSS - Complementary SINs

C132-51 - Information Technology Professional Services

C595-21 - Human Resource Services (Excluding EEO

Services)

C871-202 - Energy Management Planning and Strategies

C871-207 - Energy Audit Services

C871-208 - Resource Efficiency Management (REM)

C871-211 - Energy Consulting Services

These SINs will always be identified with an alpha ldquoCrdquo

The following is contained in each SIN description

Note ndash This SIN cannot be used as a ldquostand alonerdquo SIN ndash If an agency

requires XX services as the only service needed they are directed to

Schedule XX

8

PSS Offers Complementary SINs

How do they work

If an Agency has a requirement for business management consulting

services that includes elements of IT consulting services issue RFQ

utilizing SINs 874-1 and C132-51 under the PSS

How do they NOT work

If an Agency has a requirement for IT services only - issue an RFQ

utilizing SIN 132-51 under Schedule 70

The first scenario ensures quotes are obtained from firms who have not

only the capability to provide IT services but also the business

management consulting services equaling a total solution

9

Are the original single Schedules no longer

available on eLibrary What happened to the

contractors

The original solicitation that governed any of the single

schedule contractors has gone away but the original services

and the contractors remain they have simply been transitioned

(or renamed to) Professional Services Schedule with no

change to their terms and conditions

Can firms now provide all SINs offered under PSS

NO The firms can only provide services that were awarded

under their initial contract or added in through the modification

process

10

What does PSS (00CORP) looks like in

eLibrary

The location is wwwgsaelibrarygsagov

The general search criteria is 00CORP

SINS are grouped and categorized by solution sets

If an agency has multiple requirements a great search

tool is the ldquoCross Schedule Searchrdquo found on the main

page of eLibrary

The Cross-Schedule Search tool provides the ability to

identify total solution providers for complex multi-

schedule requirements and only returns those

contractors with contract coverage under all of the

selected schedulesSINs

11

What does it mean when contract numbers are identified with

ldquoGS-00F-XXXXXrdquo versus ldquoGS-10F 23F 02F or 07Frdquo

All Contract holders retained their original contract number and period of

performance with exception of the firms who were required to migrate to

ldquoConsolidatedrdquo in preparation for the transition to PSS (Reminder that

ldquoConsolidatedrdquo served as the platform for PSS) These firms are identified

with a GS-00F contract designator

Now that ldquoConsolidatedrdquo has been rebranded as PSS going forward all

new contracts awarded under the PSS will have the ldquoGS-00Frdquo contract

number The key to remember with contract numbers is regardless of

which identifier you see they are all now considered to be PSS contract

holders

12

Can a firm on PSS still respond via CTAs

Yes as long as the RFQ allows for CTAs

Encourage your contractors to view the Contractor

Teaming Arrangement Tool (CTAT) -- (Note they must be

a member of Interact) This is a forum to communicate

teaming needs and requirements to a broad audience of

other qualified Schedules contractors and enables

Schedules contractors to easily team on solicitations and

facilitate teaming solutions

13

PSS ndashWhat happened to Firms who held

more than one affected contract

Any firm with two or more existing contracts was

migrated into one contract that covers all services

previously provided under the single schedule contracts

including identical terms and conditions

Why

This action occured because the GSA systems only

recognizes one contract per DUNs

14

How will I know if a company has migrated its single

schedule contracts in GSA Advantage

1 Contract number will be identified in eLibrary as (GS-00F-xxxxx)

2 A matrix of those firms who were affected by the Migration process can be

found at wwwgsagovpsschedule

3 GSA Advantage Text File should have the following advisory statement and

matrix at the top

15

Are there contracts that did not transition to

PSS

Yes there are a few that did not transition as of yet

If so what happened to those contracts that did not

transition

Those contracts are still in effect while the firm and GSA

work through the process (pre established BPAs)

however their contracts are no longer visible in GSA

eLibrary

16

Migrations and Task Orders (TOs)

What happens to the TOs I have established under a

single schedule contract that was migrated

Task Orders issued against a Schedule contract prior to

the completion of the Consolidation shall be completed

in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause

52216-22 INDEFINITE QUANTITY OCT 1995

(DEVIATION ImdashJAN 1994) paragraph (d) unless

terminated by the ordering activity

17

Migrations and BPAs

What GSA has done in an effort to ease the process when BPAs

are impacted by the transition

GSA requested that contractors reach out to their customer agencies

and inform them of their migration

GSA continues to reach out to the Senior Procurement Executives of

all agencies to make them aware how the changes to PSS may affect

established BPAs

GSA posted a helpful document for agencies on Interact regarding

BPAs Task Orders and the PSS Transition

GSA also has a blog posting regarding Options on Schedule Orders

Migrations and BPAs

What can an agency do once they discover they have BPAs

established under a Single Schedule contract that were

impacted

GSA Region 10 offers two potential suggestions

Transfer pre-existing BPA to a replacement BPA contract

number so that it follows the replacement GSA Schedule

contract

Leave BPA as is Note it will expire when BPA expires or single

schedule expires ( no options exercised) whichever occurs first

unless otherwise agreed to by the ordering agency and the

GSA Contracts Operation Division
