...FORMATION AND ADMINISTRATION Examination Questions 1. Describe the three levels of competition permitted under the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA). Give an example of each. a. Full and open competition; Full and open competition means that all responsible sources are permitted to submit sealed bids or competitive proposals on the procurement. It is the preferred form of contracting and includes contracting by sealed bids, negotiation, and other procedures. Example: b. Full and open competition after exclusion of sources Full and open competition after exclusion of one or more sources is used when the U.S. Government excludes certain potential sources from consideration for a contract in order to establish or maintain alternative sources c. Other than full and open competition Under this method, a bid or proposal is solicited from one, or very few, sources. Detailed justification and approvals are required to document the choice of other than full and open competition as a means of acquisition. Example: The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Procurement Operations, proposes to enter into a contract on a basis other than full and open competition. DHS has a requirement on a sole source basis to upgrade and maintain proprietary software at an estimated cost of $7,550,000. List the name and address of the proposed contractor(s). 2. What is meant by the term “ratification” of a contract action? Who has the authority to ratify and give an example...

...Small Business Introduction “Ensuring small businesses can thrive is about more than economic success. It’s also about who we are as a people. It’s about a nation where anybody who’s got a good idea and a willingness to work hard can succeed. That’s the central promise of America.” “Small businesses are leaders in innovation and drivers of the economy. Small businesses hold more patents than all of the nation’s universities and largest corporations combined, and create two thirds of all private sector jobs, employing half of all working Americans. The Federal government is the largest buyer in the world, spending over $500 billion each year. For the Federal government contracting with small businesses is common sense. Small businesses get the revenue they need to create jobs and drive the economy forward, and federal agencies get the creativity, innovation, and technical expertise of small businesses to help accomplish their mission. When small businesses are excluded from federal contracts, the Federal government, American taxpayers, and the nation’s economy lose out.” Interagency Task Force on Federal Contracting Opportunities for Small Business Objectives • Identify the elements of the Department of Defense (DoD) Small Business Program for defense acquisitions to include the overall policy and regulations, small business goals, small business size standards, non-manufacturer rule, and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. • Identify...

Research background conducted by Kerzner (2011) under Case 23 revealed a documented tenyear history of this complex project with inherent risks. In another case study conducted by Montealegre, Keil, and Robinson (2000), a risk practice methodology was presented through “lessons learned” for improved implementation of the project’s risk management structure. Unfortunately, analogy comparisons for this type of project to incorporate past lessons learned did not exist prior to its inception since its technological innovation was breakthrough in design and concept. The city and DIA staff thought that they would be able to meet project budget and deadline, but in retrospect caused the project to be rushed beyond cost and schedule control due to inadequate risk processes. According to Kerzner (2011, p. 125), “better risk...

...Riordan Manufacturing Proposal University Of Phoenix CIS/319 Cornell Perry September 26, 2005 Introduction There are many compelling reasons to pursue deployment of an IT infrastructure in the business world today. Most enterprises already have a IT infrastructure in place, and are now taking the lessons they've learned from previous efforts to remedy problematic areas like data quality and infrastructure standardization. At the same time, many enterprises are also moving toward the next steps in the evolution of IT infrastructure and are adopting new technologies and approaches such as data management and computerized controls. Riordan Manufacturing would benefit tremendously by the implementation of an IT infrastructure. Currently, Riordan Manufacturing is suffering from corporate inefficiency that is detrimental to revenue and long term financial goals. An IT infrastructure would solve many of these problems. Cost savings would be realized through the reduction of duplicated efforts and service offerings across the corporation, lower maintenance support because of consistent hardware and software applications, and structured communication channels between departments and a newly formed corporate IT department (CIT). A CIO will provide technical leadership for IT related issues and Cost Centers will be created at each installation to adhere to strict purchasing guidelines. In addition, the CIO will establish Riordan Manufacturing’s online presence with...

Project Procurement Management is discussed from the perspective of the buyer in the buyer-seller relationship. The buyer is the organization seeking the service or product.

Project Management should be done by both the buyer and the seller. • Understand the definitions and terms. (buyer, seller, express and implied warranties, "fitness for a particular use", invitation to bid, request for proposal, etc.) • Understand the viewpoint of the reading material. Is procurement management discussed from the viewpoint of the buyer (the organization or person seeking to outsource) or the seller (the person or organization selling their services / products)? • Understand the different types of contracts: fixed price, cost plus percentage, cost plus fixed fee, cost plus incentive fee, and fixed price plus incentive fee. Know who assumes the most risk (buyer or seller) in each type of contract.
