1. Why should I use the Stanley ITOP II contracts? The ITOP II contracts offer a streamlined, cost effective process for acquiring IT products and services. Stanley has an exceptional reputation with the ITOP II Special Project Office (SPO) and the customers we support.

2. How fast can I get a task awarded? The typical process provides for award within 7 to 15 days from issuance of the statement of work. Generally speaking, the Task Order RFP (TORFP) process can take as long as 15 days (used for tasks with total values between $5M and $300M) and the Capability Interest Survey (CIS) process tends to take up to 7 days (used for tasks with total value less than $5M).

3. Can I direct a task to Stanley? The customer can issue directed tasks to Stanley, Inc. under our ITOP II contract vehicle. There is an annual ceiling of $3M for directed tasks.

4. What type of work can be done under ITOP II? Stanley has prime contracts in the Information Systems Engineering (ISE) and Systems Operations Management (SOM) functional areas and a subcontract in the Information System Security (ISS) functional area. Although most IT services are provided under these functional areas, some areas may not be covered. If potential work has an IT component, then it can be completed under the ITOP II umbrella. The spirit of the ITOP II vehicle is to provide the broadest range of IT services. Supporting this contention are the following statements, taken from the ITOP II SOW:

a. "The Contractor can provide resources to support other IT-related tasks that may not have been specifically mentioned …"

b. "The contract is intended to cover all types of IT services. It would be impossible to identify all requirements and/or anticipate how technology will evolve over the life of the contract."

c. "The Contractor shall be capable of providing the broad range of IT services and keep current with emerging technologies."

5. What is the cost of using the ITOP II contract vehicle? Customers are assessed a processing fee of .75% by GSA.

6. Can I use the ITOP II contract vehicle and ITOP II contracting staff to complete the entire acquisition? Yes, you may use the ITOP II contract vehicle without using your organization's contracting staff.

7. Can I use ITOP II for my State Agency customers? One of the key features of ITOP II is that it allows State and even Local Governments to procure IT services and support the same as their Federal counterparts.

8. Can I run the entire procurement process from SOW development through award of a task order? A GSA Project Manager can assist as needed throughout the process, from development through task order award.

9. What contract types are available through ITOP II? ITOP II offers an extensive range of contract type options: Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Firm Fixed Price Award Fee (FFPAF), and Time & Materials (T/M).

10. What are my limits in terms of task order value? Task orders issued under the task order RFP process are limited to $300M. Task orders issued under the capability interest survey process are limited to $5M.

11. What are my limits in terms of hardware and software procurement? There is no limit under ITOP II, other than the maximum task order dollar limits listed above.
