This involves managing 320,000 prime contracts with current work valued at $850 billion. DCMA is headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia (with a mailing address of Alexandria, VA), and employs over 11,000 civilian and military professionals worldwide. The agency is organized into three Districts: East, headquartered in Boston, MA; West, headquartered in Carson, CA; and International, which is co-located with the agency headquarters. The districts are further subdivided into 60 Contract Management Offices (CMOs) that work with Defense industry SPs at over 900 locations worldwide. 3.

DCMAIT personnel will provide sufficient floor space or contiguous rack space, power connections, and FC connections prior to installation. Inside delivery is defined as the exact spot that DCMA designates within a building.

Performance Expectations and Standards: Deliver quality support services on time Deliver and install all equipment on time.

Periodic Adjustments of Performance Standards: In its experience with other performance-based instruments, DCMA has found it not only advisable but necessary to adjust performance standards periodically. That is because particular written expressions of performance standards sometime inadvertently motivate services provider behaviors that act against achievement of the desired performance objectives. Having learned that lesson, DCMA intends to apply it to this PBSO. Accordingly, DCMA reserves the right to adjust any or all performance standards in this PBSO, up to and including the addition of entirely new performance standards and complete substitutions of new performance standards for those already existing in this PBSO or as may have been included by subsequent modifications of this document, at any time at the DCMA Information Technology Customer Service Organization?s (ITCSO?s) discretion?subject, of course, to the stipulations in the ?Changes? clause of any resulting contract. DCMA, however, does not plan to make any such adjustments more often than once each calendar quarter and in fact would prefer not to make them any more frequently than once each calendar year. 6. Places of Performance: See Table 3.2. 7. Period and Time of Performance: Complete installation no later than 30 calendar days after the award date. Work periods are restricted to normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 0800-1700 local). Work will not be performed on federal holidays as identified on http://www.opm.gov/fedhol/index.asp 8. Travel: Travel expenses will not be reimbursed by the government. 9.
