) You receive a purchase request for janitorial services at an annex to your
installation. The contract value with option years is expected to be $300,000. Which
of the following statements is most accurate regarding the upcoming Request for
Quotation? [Determine the proper procedures for the preparation and issuance of a written
RFQ.]
You must synopsize the requirement because it is over $25,000.
You can limit the competition to companies that have over 200 employees.
You should issue your Request for Quotation using a Standard Form 18, as this
requirement is for a non-commercial service.
You do not have to incorporate clauses because you will be using Simplified
Acquisition Procedures.
2) You have just made an award based on your Request for Quote for trash removal
services. The contract was awarded to Atlantic Waste Removal in the amount of
$30,500. Do you have to notify unsuccessful offerors when using Simplified
Acquisition Procedures (SAP), and why or why not? [Select the steps necessary to
correctly issue a purchase order and when to notify unsuccessful quoters.] [Remediation
Accessed :N]
Yes, but only if an offeror(s) requests it.
Yes. All unsuccessful offerors must be notified when using SAP.
No. Only unsuccessful offerors of supplies must be notified under SAP.
No. Under SAP you are never required to notify any unsuccessful offeror.
3) You receive a routine purchase request for recycling and disposal services for used
fluorescent bulbs and electromagnetic ballasts. Estimated value of the work is
$150,000. What is the primary consideration when deciding whether to utilize a
purchase order versus another contract instrument for the requirement? [Determine
the conditions necessary for utilizing a purchase order.]
The dollar value of the requirement.
Your experience as a contracting professional.
How many times in the past the work has been performed.
Your business relationship with the requesting activity.
4) You receive a routine purchase request to purchase telecommunications equipment
for your base's Communications Squadron. The equipment is estimated to cost
$50,000. Your contracting office has a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the
equipment, with a local vendor who can provide the equipment immediately. How do
you propose to complete this action? [Determine the conditions required to place "calls"
against an established Blanket Purchase Agreement.] [Remediation Accessed :N]
As there is only one BPA, locate additional vendors and send out a Request for
Quotation and see if additional BPAs could be established.
Since you already have a BPA, issue the call directly to that vendor because the
work has essentially been done for you.
As you have a good source, send out a "sole source" Request for Quotation to that
source because they can ship the equipment immediately.
Inform the requestor from the Communications Squadron that he/she is
authorized to purchase the equipment with their organizational Governmentwide
Commercial Purchase Card.
