For Federal Agencies
1. What is the COMMITS NexGen Tier Structure?
COMMITS NexGen ordering methodology utilizes a three-tier process for task order competition. COMMITS NG contracts are awarded to a variety of small business contractors in three size-standard tiers as described. Contractors in Tier I are certified under NAICS codes with $7 million or $15 million size standards and compete for all task orders regardless of life cycle value. Contractors in Tier II are certified under NAICS codes with size standards of $25 million or 500 employees and compete for all task orders with a life cycle value greater than $5 Million. Contractors in Tier III are certified under NAICS codes with a size standard of 1500 employees and can only compete for task orders with a life cycle value greater than $40 million.
2. Where can I find labor categories and labor rates for the COMMITS NexGen GWAC?
The COMMITS NexGen contract program is a true solutions-based vehicle. Under this structure the contracts contain neither fixed labor rates nor categories, nor do they contain pre-established line items. The COMMITS NexGen solution approach does not limit the partners to predefined contract line items.
3. What does the COMMITS NexGen incumbency policy mean?
COMMITS NexGen incumbent contractors with a current COMMITS NexGen contract may compete in any tier for a task order previously awarded under COMMITS NexGen, regardless of Life Cycle Value provided the following criteria are met:
• Incumbent contractor has an active COMMITS NexGen contract
• Existing project for which incumbency status is claimed was awarded on a COMMITS NexGen task order
• Project for which incumbency status is claimed was not awarded pursuant to a Fair Opportunity Exception
