How do federal agencies use MOBIS?
Civilian Agencies distribute a Request for Quote (RFQ) to a minimum of three (3) MOBIS contractors. An RFQ typically includes instructions; evaluation criteria and a performance based Statement of Work (SOW). The SOW communicates what work will be performed, period and place of performance, deliverable schedules, applicable standards, special requirements (security clearances, travel), etc. After the RFQ closes, the ordering office evaluates the quotes received, makes a best value decision and issues a task order. GSA offers a comprehensive training course, titled, “Using GSA Schedules” which covers schedule ordering procedures, developing Statements of Work, Contractor Teaming Arrangements, Blanket Purchase Agreements and other Schedule related topics. For additional information, go to The FSS Center for Acquisition Excellence at www.fsstraining.gsa.gov. Military agencies distribute RFQs per Section 803.
