The first step towards initiating the PICS III task order process is completing a Task Order Request Package (TORP). The TORP will provide details of the specific services requested. This document will guide you through the information required.
This document provides guidance on writing Statements of Work (SOWs). It provides writing tips, outlines, resources and other helpful ideas. This is a good aid for writing consistent, thorough task order SOWs.
After completing the award analysis, the Task Order COR prepares an SRD to document the evaluation and provide a rationale for selection. The Support Team has developed an SRD template to facilitate this step.
Funding must be available for every requirement. If the total value (base plus option years) of your task order is less than $250,000, this funding memo template will suffice and can be made part of your TORP. If greater than $250,000, an acquisition plan will be needed.
Conferences must be approved as per the NIH Guidance. HHS Divisions other than NIH should consult their own policy or refer to the HHS Guidance. The appropriate approval form must be completed before a TORP is submitted to the PICS III Support Team.
This document provides guidance related to the evaluation of proposals submitted by vendors. It provides 4-5 factors for scoring and explains each in detail. This may be helpful in evaluating vendors fairly and in a consistent manner.
Use this Sample Determination and Findings document when preparing a Time and Materials TORP.
