VETS Scope ReviewsScope Compatibility Reviews for Prospective Orders and Modifications The VETS GWAC is intended for information technology (IT) services and IT services-based solutions task orders. IT is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) at FAR 2.101. The Small Business GWAC Center offers Ordering Contracting Officers (OCOs) and industry partners the value-added opportunity to send in Statements of Work (SOW)/Statements of Objectives (SOO) and proposed modifications to existing orders for advance scope compatibility review for the VETS GWAC. This service is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is available at no cost. This quality assurance measure has been made available for those who would like assistance in determining scope fit on the VETS contract vehicle. To get started on these courtesy reviews, please do the following:
What can be expected upon concluding the SOW review is a short turn-around time, determination on whether the Small Business GWAC Center deems the requirement a good fit for the VETS GWAC, and which Functional Area is appropriate based on the information that has been presented. The OCO will still be required to complete acquisition planning, work with legal and technical advisors if appropriate or required, conduct the procurement, perform due diligence, etc. Please note: A Delegation of Procurement Authority for the VETS GWAC must be obtained by any OCO prior to issuing orders against this contract. Scope Compatibility Reviews for Higher Risk Work Areas An under-representation of IT professional services and over-representation of non-IT services and/or products would not be a good fit for VETS' IT services and IT services-based solutions scope. The SBGWAC Center strongly advises that the contracting officer fully consults with their legal and technical advisors to address these interests and that they complete further due diligence by using the Scope Compatibility Review process and abiding by its findings. The following types of work can be IT services and IT services-based solutions if established properly.
As a reminder, the following are not allowed on the VETS GWAC:
