Contract Scope
The New World PES contract offers worldwide engineering services and products to enable government agencies to meet demands for a wide variety of technical requirements. The Special Item Numbers (SINs) available under this contract provide for a variety of engineering services across the full life cycle of an engineering project. The government defined and awarded this contract after evaluation based on New World’s experience, negotiated cost reasonableness, and past performance. New World has been awarded three SINs, as defined below:

• SIN 871-2 Concept Development and Requirements Analysis
• SIN 871-3 System Design, Engineering and Integration
• SIN 871-4 Test and Evaluation

New World offers mechanical and electrical engineering services (referred to as Primary Engineering Disciplines, or PEDs) and related technical services under each of the three contract SINs. To request a full description of each SIN or New World’s PES Price List Catalog, please email our office at inquiries@newworldassociates.com.

Ordering Procedures
Total price for services are established at the time the task order is placed and are based on the prices/rates offered in the New World’s PES Price List Catalog. The estimated number of hours, the labor categories to be provided, and any related items are detailed on the resultant task order. If the ordering agency’s Contracting Officer chooses to purchase services on a Labor Hour (T&M) basis, the resultant task order will 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).

To order engineering services, the government agency:

• A performance-based statement of work that outlines the work to be performed
• Type of Task Order - T&M or FFP
• Basis to be used for contractor selection (e.g., best value)

• Select at least three (more if TO value is over $750K) qualified contractors on the schedule
• Send Requests for Quote to selected contractors

• Evaluate responses based upon the factors identified in Request for Quotes
• Place Order directly with the schedule contractor that represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special qualifications, administrative 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.
