Contracting in Government department

SCENARIO: Karenna just returned from a Department of Defense management meeting
where the dismal state of the budget was the principle topic. She gave Bob the bad news. It is four months before the end of the year closeout and two major requirements came in from the Navy Warfare Center. The funding is dismal, resources are overloaded and Bob is the only contracting officer she can depend on to be fast and accurate when it comes to complex requirements of this nature. Bob must get these requirements on contract by October 1st. Bob must convene an acquisition team and get started right away. Bob will need to come up with an acquisition strategy to include contract methodology and contract type that will encourage efficient funds management and will motivate the contractors to watch the bottom line.

Period of performance includes a 3-year base period and 2-year option period. The estimated level of effort for the total requirement is 766,025 hours. The NAICS code is 541330.

Repair facility paint, floor coverings, millwork, caulk, protective coatings, wall systems, and hangar door structure. Install fire sprinkler systems, additional steel frame support, metal insulated panels, metal barrel roof, interior walls, HVAC systems, communications wiring, restrooms, millwork, utilities, access pavements, fire protection/detection, fire suppression, site work, anti-terrorism force protection measures, erosion control, drainage structures and landscape.

Task: You are the contracting officer for the acquisitions discussed above. Develop a viable procurement strategy to include determining the contracting method, contract type and risk. As you determine the contract methodology and contract type keep in mind some concerns and limitations:

1. The schedule is aggressive;
2. Requirement 1 includes proprietary equipment;
3. Limited funds;
4. A need for quality because the requirements are vital to national defense.
5. Security clearances are another important issue. Whoever win the contract have a Top
secret facility clearance, either before or shortly after contract award;
6. Past protest on both requirements.

Address the following questions in your response to requirements 1and 2 separately:

1. What contracting method will you use?
Why?
2. What are the key risk areas of the efforts?

3. What contract type would motivate the contractor to achieve excellence and manage
funds wisely? Why?
