Step 1 - Identify Your Services 
The HRsolutions staff can assist you through the process in utilizing the HRsolutions Studies and Analysis IDIQ contract.
 
 
Step 2 - Request Form 
Complete and email the request form found on www.hrsolutions.army.mil to the HRsolutions staff.  This form will provide the level of detail available on your work requirements as a "starter set" for the HRsolutions contract staff to begin the PWS initiation.
 
 
Step 3 - HRsolutions Staff Drafts the PWS 
The HRsolutions contract staff will convert your input into a legally sufficient PWS containing scope, background, applicable documents, tasks, and objectives.
 
 
Step 4 - Customer Approves Final PWS 
The HRsolutions staff will correct the PWS as necessary to meet your needs and requirements.
 
 
Step 5 - HRsolutions Staff Prepares the Cost Estimate "Independent Government Estimate" (IGCE)   
The HRsolutions staff will draft the required IGCE of likely costs for contractor performance. The IGCE and PWS will be adjusted as necessary to meet your needs and available funding.
 
 
Step 6 - Customer Provides Funding to HRsolutions Staff  
Funding is provided through a Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (DD Form 448) - also called MIPR.  Effective 1 October 2010 funds transferred on every MIPR shall include the estimated cost of contractor performance and a 1.5% service fee for the services provided by HRsolutions.    The upfront collection of the service fee will eliminate last-minute collections at the end of each quarter and improve bookkeeping though the year. 

Towards the end of each fiscal year, the HRsolutions Program Office will balance their books and either bill for an additional percentage - to be collected during the last quarter - or refund any surplus funds.

As a point of reference, the HRsolutions Program Office costs, over the past two years, has averaged 1.4%

 
Step 7 - HRsolutions Staff Prepares All Procurement Request Documents 
The HRsolutions staff will prepare the solicitation and any related procurement documents (such as sole source justifications, non-severability determinations, security clearance forms, evaluation criteria, and similar actions) for the Contracting Officer's use in obtaining quotes from the HRsolutions contractors. The HRsolutions staff will directly interface with the Contracting Officer on the customer's behalf on all queries and procurement requirements.
 
 
Step 8 - HRsolutions Staff Reviews Cost & Technical Quotes 
The HRsolutions staff reviews all cost and technical quotes with customer invited to participate and the HRsolutions staff will review offers and draft evaluations and recommendations for the task order award. The customer will be offered an opportunity to participate during this process. The HRsolutions staff, along with the customer, will provide a draft evaluation to the Contracting Officer for consideration and approval.
 
 
Step 9 - Contracting Officer Awards the Task Order 
The customer and contractor are notified, copies of the task order are distributed, and performance begins.
 
 
Step 10 - Contract Administration 
The Director of HRsolutions is the authorized "Contracting Officer's Representative" (COR) to perform post-award contract administration. The HRsolutions staff will perform a variety of tasks to assist you throughout contract execution and closure, as described in the Program Management support section.
