Procurement System Review
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires recurring technical assistance services in conducting Procurement System Reviews (PSR); an FTA area of program oversight. The objective of the PSR is to examine how recipients of FTA funds comply with statutory and administrative requirements for procurement, particularly those that are included in the Annual Certifications and Assurances submitted by grantees. The PSR aides the FTA in evaluating grantee effectiveness in carrying out project obligations under a grant agreement that is signed by FTA and the grantee after project approval. The Procurement System Review examines 55 elements to determine if FTA grantees are meeting FTA procurement requirements and to identify corrective actions if a grantee is not meeting the requirements. In addition to helping evaluate grantees, the review gives FTA an opportunity to provide current information to grantees on the latest FTA procurement requirements and also aids FTA in reporting to the Secretary, Congress, other oversight agencies and the transit community.
FTA intends to award multiple contracts to small business concerns for the PSR Program. The length of all contracts will be for five (5) years. The multi-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts will be hybrid in nature in that there are some Fixed Price line items, Labor Hour line items, and Time and Materials (T&M) line items. This effort will be a total small business set-aside. Any quote that is submitted by a vendor that is not a small business will not be considered for award.
Questions concerning this solicitation must be received by the Government no later than 12 Noon EST on June 17, 2014. The Government anticipates providing responses to the received questions no later than June 24, 2014.
