Performance Examples—On-Going Contracts

Health and Human Services logoThe Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) MidAtlantic Cooperative Administrative Support Unit (CASU)—a national IDIQ contract providing receptionists, secretaries, executive secretaries, accounting technicians, and on-site Program Managers. This contract includes 60-70 personnel working in six states: Boston, MA; Scott AF Base, Illinois; New Jersey; New York, NY; North Carolina; Alexandria, VA; Ft. Eustis, VA; and Richmond, VA. Task Orders are anywhere from 1-80 contractors. In addition, performance-based management is required, and many positions require clearances.

 

Stars and Stripes LogoStars and Stripes—A daily newspaper published since 1942 for the U.S. military, DoD civilians, contractors, and their families. For six years we have been providing administrative personnel, copy editors, network administrators, and help desk technicians. Stars and Stripes works all over the world in different time zones and 24/7 support is very important. Stars and Stripes also uses our services to locate and hire their employees. In addition, twenty-five percent (25%) of our contractors are hired directly by Stars and Stripes. Administrative, editing, and writing tasks are very similar to the requirements of the Department of State, and security clearances are often required. We provide receptionists, clerks, data entry specialists, and secretaries of all levels to support Stars and Stripes division heads and help with the day-to-day operations of the agency.

dc_governmentGovernment of the District of Columbia— We provided more than 30 accountants and four Program Managers (senior accountants) in a phased 2-week start-up operation to assist DC Financial Systems in the completion and management of the conversion of its Accounts Payable, Payroll, and General Ledger systems. This 9-month, $1,000,000 contract was to ensure: all data was entered correctly into the new system, all the business rules were correct in the new system, and the new system data was maintained accurately during conversion process. Finally, we had to reconcile the new system and old system results. The transition to the new system was successful.

Ability to Manage Large IDIQ Programs

We are equipped to handle large IDIQ contracts and presently have a large IDIQ contract with the Mid Atlantic CASU. We were one of the six service support firms contracted by the Mid Atlantic CASU to provide administrative and professional support throughout the United States.  As a part of the CASU, we compete with the other five support firms for small (one to four contractors), medium (five to fifteen contractors), and large (over 45 contractors) Task Orders. Our experience with this large IDIQ program is that we support 15 to 20 Task Orders per year. These Task Orders are very similar to those described for the Department of State. They require cleared personnel resources and are geographically dispersed.
