Attachment J 1 

In crafting solutions to specific task order requirements, the COMMITS 

NexGen Contractors will have access to the General Services 

Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Schedules (FSS).  The Government 

will authorize the COMMITS NexGen Contractors to use the FSS contracts to 

take advantage of the significant quantity discounts available to the 

Government.  Small businesses may not be able to match the Government's 

buying power or achieve similar discounts.  It is in the best interest of the 

Government to allow COMMITS NexGen Contractors the opportunity to use 

the FSS contracts for each proposed task order solution.   

Step 6:  

Evaluate Responses to SOR 

Proposal evaluation will be conducted by the requiring activity.  The CITS 

office can assist in the evaluation as necessary.  Each evaluation shall be 

conducted in accordance with the established evaluation criteria.  The 

requiring activity is responsible for selecting the best value Contractor.  An 

evaluation report will be provided to the CITS office with the results of the 

evaluation. 

Step 7:  

Award Task Order 

If award authority has been delegated, the requiring activity places the task 

order with the selected Contractors.  Copies of the task order will be provided 

to the CITS office.   

If award authority remains with the COMMITS NexGen contracting officer, the 

requesting activity forwards their appropriate funding document, to the CITS 

office.  Based on the selection decision, the COMMITS NexGen contracting 

officer will award the task order to the successful Contractor.  Successful 

offerors will be notified and arrangements will be made for work to begin.  In 

either case, the funding agency will receive award credit for the category of 

business selected (i.e., small, small disadvantaged, small disadvantaged 

8(a), and small women owned). 

Step 8:  

Execute Task Order 

Unless the agency requests CITS office support, the responsibility for 

managing the delivery order resides with the requiring activity.  The requiring 

activity's responsibilities will be spelled out in the task management plan.  At 

a minimum, the requiring activity will be responsible for completing past 

performance reports which will be sent the Contractor for comment and then 

to the CITS office.  These performance reports will be maintained in a past 

performance database, to be used for future task order evaluations, and 

general reporting requirements.
