Total price for services are established at the time the task order is placed and are based on the prices/rates offered by Express Services in the region where work will be performed. The estimated number of hours negotiated with the ordering agency, the labor categories to be provided, and any related items are detailed on the resultant task order. If the ordering agency Contracting Officer chooses to purchase services on a Labor Hour basis, the resultant task order shall specify the Not To Exceed price, the Labor Categories proposed (with the hourly rates for each), and any applicable travel and Other Direct Costs (ODCs).

• A performance-based statement of work that outlines the work to be performed
• Type of Task Order - Labor Hour (LH) or firm fixed price (FFP)
• Basis to be used for contractor selection (i.e., best value, etc.)

• Place the Order directly with the schedule contractor that represents the best value (considering past performance, local presence if important, special qualifications, reasonable costs, etc.) The task order is issued directly from the requesting government agency's contracting office to the selected contractor without GSA involvement in the procurement process. All task order reporting requirements and remission of fees to GSA are the responsibility of the contractor.

Ordering agencies may choose to have GSA provide the acquisition services listed above, rather than their contracting office. GSA will provide the services for a nominal fee. Contact GSA for more detailed information about their procurement services and specific fees.
