In order to ensure that Contractor Team Arrangements (CTAs) are not simply Prime Contractor/ Subcontractor Arrangements under Schedule contracts, GSA strongly recommends that an ordering activity's RFQ indicates that all CTAs must be specifically identified as such, and that the CTA document be submitted to the government as part of the quotation in response to the RFQ. Do not be confused, for example, by a "Team ABC" response; the response should clearly identify that the GSA Schedule contractors are proposing a "Contractor Team Arrangement."
The CTA should designate all team members, their corresponding GSA Schedule contract numbers, and describe the tasks to be performed by each team member, along with the associated proposed prices (e.g., unit prices, labor categories, and hourly rates). If applicable, the team lead should also be identified, as should the individual team members responsible for delivery, warranty, and other issues.
The ordering activity should then be able to verify that any proposed unit prices or hourly rates do not exceed the prices awarded under each team member's GSA Schedule contract and avoid any misunderstandings regarding each team member's responsibilities and prices.
