Accessing Booz Allen through the S3 Contract

How to Prepare the S3 Data Package

The Army's Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command (C-E LCMC) has developed standardized requirements for delivery order award on the S3 contract. The following step-by-step instructions are a guide for our government clients on how to prepare and submit the necessary documents.

STEP 1: Contact Your C-E LCMC Acquisition Center Representative to Register a New Project

Process initiation begins when the government client contacts the appropriate C-E LCMC Acquisition Center customer representative.

CAC Washington Office Client Contact

The government client needs to specify that this registration is for a new project on the S3 Program and provide the requested information.

STEP 2: Prepare Task Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Statement of Work

The government client will prepare a PWS describing the required work effort. The C-E LCMC has a template for the client’s use.

STEP 3: Prepare Independent Government Cost Estimate

The government client will prepare an independent government cost estimate. The C-E LCMC Acquisition Center customer representative will provide a template for the estimate.

STEP 4: Prepare Basis for Contractor Selection

The government client will prepare and submit a document indicating the basis for contractor selection. This document indicates the selection criteria for award under the PWS and the weighting of those factors.

STEP 5: Prepare Technical Evaluation Form

The government client will prepare and submit a technical evaluation form, which is an analysis of the technical proposal, cost/pricing information, and any other factors considered. The C-E LCMC Acquisition Center has a template for the client’s use.

STEP 6: Prepare S3 Business Case

The government client will prepare a business case for the work to be done.

Task Execution Plan

Once the S3 data package is finalized and the government client has approved its release for bid, the C-E LCMC will send the Request for Task Execution Plan (RTEP) electronically to the S3 prime contractors. The prime contractors will prepare their bid responses to the RTEP and submit their team’s bid within the time frame specified (usually 7 calendar days). The TEP responses will include a technical description of the work to be performed, labor, materials breakdown, and a cost proposal.

Government Award Process

Once the TEP responses have been submitted by the prime contractors, the C-E LCMC Acquisition Center will request that the government client review the bids and provide an evaluation report and recommendation for award.
