Speculate on how you would negotiate during the contract award process once your solicitation is accepted. 4. Determine the value of your most favored customer or class of customers to GSA.

...ASSIGNMENT 3: GSA Wants you BUS 330–Contract Administration and Management ASSIGNMENT 3: GSA Wants you BUS 330–Contract Administration and Management General Services Administration (GSA) is committed to providing innovative solutions to meet the needs of all Federal agencies through the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracting vehicles and by so doing, foster effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA offers consolidated contracting to negotiate better prices and reduce administrative costs for Government agencies purchasing goods and services through GSA schedules. GSA pre-negotiates prices and terms with Industry Partners and awards a contract under the MAS program. This type of contracting does not involve a sale to GSA, but creates an agreement where any participating Government agency may purchase the products or services covered by the contract according to the prices and terms specified, enabling Government agencies to make purchases faster and to leverage the buying power of the government. However, GSA MAS contracts will not be a good fit for every Industry Partner. In order to succeed as a GSA MAS contractor, you must be properly prepared and positioned for success. When doing business with GSA all responses to Schedules solicitations must be submitted electronically at eOffer/eMod. The purpose of eOffer/eMod is to create an interactive, secure electronic environment that simplifies the contracting process from submission...

...Assignment 2: Price Analysis for the Navigation System Robert Gonzalez Professor Stephen Bartorillo BUS 315: Cost and Price Analysis July 26, 2015 Analyze your company’s cost classification for pricing of the navigation system. Defend your cost classification to the US government. Considering that our only competitor in the field of navigation systems is VectorCal, it was important for us to carefully determine pricing that was, not only competitive enough to beat the competition, but affordable enough to increase customer demand. Our Analysts have worked diligently in reviewing the cost to manufacture our product from all different angles and scenarios in order to create a price that meets the terms of the contract and allow us to continue to earn reasonable profits for the business. At Autobots, we employ 23 highly-skilled technicians that utilize the raw materials that go into manufacturing our system. Those direct costs can be traced back to our finished product, the M-2300, because we can account for the raw materials used and what was spent on hourly wages for our technicians. The business also employs a management team that is knowledgeable in the field of navigation systems and in overseeing large projects and an operation such as ours. This team we keep on salary and cannot trace their contributions to the project back to the finished product, so we have divided their salaries as indirect costs into several different divisions within the company. We rent our facilities...

...Long-Term Relationship Principles of Federal Acquisition Assess how the different approaches to contract financing can impact the company. Contracting Officers provide financing only to the extent needed for prompt and efficient performance, considering the availability of private financing and the impact of predelivery expenditures and product lead times on working capital. There are varieties of available methods: (1) progress payments, (2) advance payments, (3) performance-based payments, (4) commercial items purchase financing, and (5) other methods, such as private financing and Government loans guarantee. To minimize risk to the Government, the regulations also provide that when a contractor requests financing, the Contracting Officer should consider the financing methods in the following order of preference: (a) private financing without Government guarantees, (b) “customary” contract financing, (c) loan guarantees, (d) “unusual” contract financing, and (e) advance payments. Progress Payments: The Government will make progress payments to the contractor when requested as work progresses, but not more frequently than monthly, in amounts of $2,5000 or more approved by the Contractor Officer. (Arnavas, 2003) Advance Payments: are advances of money by the Government to a prime contractor before, in anticipation of, and for the purpose of complete performance under one or more contracts. They are expected to be liquidated from payments due to the contractor...

...Strategic Plan Part One: Background General Instructions: The background is the first part of the IT Strategic Plan document.

...Department of Defense and Baby Boomer Exodus: Is Anyone Paying Attention? By: eadership and Organizational Behavior Instructor: 20 June 2013 Overview of Organization: The organization this writer chose is Naval Supply Center (NAVSUPP) in Mechanicsburg, Pa... It is my current place of employment and will serve as a representative sample for any Department of Defense (DOD) base in the United States. The base has various elements under its control such as where I work in Foreign Military Sales (FMS), a storage center for ship components called Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and various other entities that support all kinds of weapon systems for the navy. Current Situation: I work in FMS which is funded by foreign countries, not the U.S. Government, for logistic support of weapon systems. The importance here is we will not be subject to any furloughs or cuts in pay or in any reduction of force as is the rest of DOD as a result of the sequester that is about to take place. The key point here is everyone else in DOD will lose 20% of their salary for 11-14 weeks. A lot of anger, jealousy and envy are therefore created. In 2012, the entire navy went to a one stop and shop, do all computer program called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). It was a total shock toboth Active Duty and civilian navy personnel, in how it performs supply, human resources and asset control. Numerous legacy systems were shut down...
