5. ACQUISITION APPROACHES
MATOC
Better suited for large design build projects, allowing for multiple design solutions to be considered.
Fair opportunity requires us compete work with all contractors in the pool.
Expensive and time consuming to put contracts/ task orders into place.
SATOC
Well suited for moderate size projects with defined scopes and time allows for meaningful negotiations.
Multiple negotiations are often required, and occasionally we do not achieve mutual agreement.
Contractor proposal’s are based on RS Means and pre-negotiated coefficients for SRM IDCs.
8(a) Match IDIQs
Use current authority to non competitively award 8(a) Contractors a contract with values up to $4M.
Consideration to workload and capability necessary
Longer Pre-Award
Larger Actions
More Expensive Pre- Award
More Competitive
Shorter Pre-Award
Smaller Actions
Less Expensive Pre-Award
Less Competitive
In-House capabilities suitable for some requirements but limited by capacity and other factors.
Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan will be established for each Task Order.
Consideration of the risk associated with the acquisition method is important.
Acquisition methods guided by policy directives and regulation.
Considerations of geographic usage and scope impact MATOCs and SATOCs and include limitations enforced by USACE and other agencies.
