Acquisition
Strategy for CEOss
The Marine Corps System
Command (MCSC) has established the Commercial Enterprise Omnibus support
services (CEOss) program, a $3B indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ)
business model, which takes advantage of competitive industry trends
in commercial acquisition and support a significant contractor base.
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.404(b)(4) authorizes
agencies to issue Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with Federal Supply
Schedule (FSS) contractors. BPAs have been established with contractors using
the GSA FSS. Individual Task
Orders (TOs) will be competitively awarded to BPA contractors respective
of the area of performance. There
will be no maximum dollar limitation on any task order, nor any minimum
order amount assigned to the BPAs. The
CEOss model relies exclusively on electronic procurement practices via
their eP2 technology. This technology
enables a "virtually paperless" process for
soliciting, evaluating, awarding and administering task
orders generated under CEOss.
