Value Assessment
Rating: fair
The total award amount of $144.2 million over two years averages to $72.1 million annually. Benchmarking this against similar large-scale facilities support contracts is challenging without more specific service details. However, the annual cost per year is substantial, suggesting a need for rigorous performance monitoring to ensure value for money. The contract was awarded in 2005, and market rates for such services have likely evolved since then.
Cost Per Unit: N/A
Competition Analysis
Competition Level: full-and-open
The contract was awarded under 'Full and Open Competition,' suggesting that all responsible sources were permitted to submit a bid. The data indicates one award was made, but it does not specify the number of bids received. A full and open competition generally promotes price discovery and allows the government to select the best value offer, which could be based on price, technical merit, or a combination.
Taxpayer Impact: A full and open competition is generally favorable for taxpayers as it aims to secure the most competitive pricing and best service offerings available in the market.
Public Impact
The primary beneficiary is the Department of Defense, specifically the Army, which received facilities support services. Services delivered likely included maintenance, operations, and management of facilities at Fort McPherson. The geographic impact is concentrated in Georgia, specifically around Fort McPherson. The contract supported the operational readiness and infrastructure of a military installation.
Waste & Efficiency Indicators
Waste Risk Score: 50 / 10
Warning Flags
- Lack of specific performance metrics or outcomes in the provided data makes it difficult to assess effectiveness.
- The raw dollar amount is high, necessitating close scrutiny of spending efficiency.
- No information is available on potential cost overruns or changes to the original contract value.
Positive Signals
- Awarded through full and open competition, suggesting a structured and potentially cost-effective procurement.
- The contract was awarded to a single entity, which can sometimes lead to streamlined management and accountability.
- The contract duration of two years provided stability for both the contractor and the government agency.
Sector Analysis
Facilities Support Services (NAICS 561210) is a significant sector within government contracting, encompassing a wide range of services essential for the operation and maintenance of government facilities. This contract, valued at $144.2 million, represents a substantial portion of spending within this category for the period. Comparable spending benchmarks would depend on the specific scope of services, but large military installations often require extensive support, making this a sizable contract within the defense sector's facilities management domain.
Small Business Impact
The provided data indicates that this contract was not set aside for small businesses (ss: false, sb: false). Therefore, there are no direct subcontracting implications or specific impacts on the small business ecosystem stemming from a small business set-aside. The prime contractor, Stanley Associates Inc., would have been responsible for fulfilling the contract requirements.
Oversight & Accountability
Oversight mechanisms for this contract would typically involve the contracting officer's representative (COR) at the Department of the Army, responsible for monitoring performance and ensuring compliance. Inspector General (IG) jurisdiction would apply for investigations into fraud, waste, or abuse. Transparency is generally facilitated through contract databases like FPDS, where award details are recorded, though detailed performance reports are often not publicly accessible.

Who is the contractor on this award?

What is the period of performance?
Start: 2005-09-28. End: 2007-09-28.
What specific types of facilities support services were included in this $144.2 million contract?
The provided data classifies the contract under NAICS code 541614 (Management and Technical Consulting, Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and lists the service as 'PROGRAM EVALUATION SERVICES' and 'SERVICES'. However, the primary industry code (NAICS) is 561210, which is Facilities Support Services. This suggests the contract likely encompassed a broad range of services related to the operation, maintenance, and management of facilities at Fort McPherson. These could include, but are not limited to, custodial services, grounds maintenance, pest control, refuse collection, facility repair and alterations, and potentially specialized program evaluation related to facility usage or efficiency. The 'Program Evaluation Services' designation might indicate a component focused on assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the facility's operations or specific programs housed within it.
How did Stanley Associates Inc.'s pricing compare to other potential bidders during the full and open competition?
The provided data does not include specific pricing details of competing bids, only the final award amount to Stanley Associates Inc. During a 'Full and Open Competition,' the government solicits bids from all responsible sources and typically selects the offer that represents the best value, which can be based on a combination of price, technical capability, past performance, and other factors. Without access to the bid submissions or the government's source selection decision document, it's impossible to definitively state how Stanley Associates Inc.'s pricing compared to other bidders. However, the fact that they were awarded the contract suggests their proposal met the government's requirements and was deemed competitive.
What were the key performance indicators (KPIs) used to evaluate Stanley Associates Inc.'s performance under this contract?
The provided data extract does not contain information regarding the specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or performance metrics established for this contract. Typically, government contracts of this nature include a Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW) that outlines the required services, standards of performance, and methods of evaluation. These KPIs would likely focus on aspects such as response times for maintenance requests, quality of janitorial or repair work, adherence to safety protocols, and overall customer satisfaction from the facility users. Without the PWS or performance reports, a detailed assessment of their performance against specific metrics is not possible.
What is the historical spending trend for facilities support services at Fort McPherson or similar Army installations?
The provided data only captures a single contract award for Stanley Associates Inc. from 2005 to 2007. To analyze historical spending trends for facilities support services at Fort McPherson or similar Army installations, a broader dataset encompassing multiple contracts over several years would be necessary. This would involve examining spending patterns before, during, and after this specific contract period, as well as comparing it to other installations of similar size and function. Factors such as base closures, force structure changes, and evolving support requirements would influence these trends. This single data point is insufficient to establish a meaningful historical spending trend.
Were there any significant contract modifications or change orders issued to Stanley Associates Inc. during the contract period?
The provided data extract indicates the initial award amount was $144,202,843.00 and the difference between the obligated amount and the total award amount is zero ('!000000000000!'). This suggests that, based on this specific data snapshot, there were no immediate changes to the contract's total value or funding at the time of award or shortly thereafter. However, the data does not provide a history of contract modifications that may have occurred throughout the contract's two-year duration (September 28, 2005, to September 28, 2007). Comprehensive contract modification history would require access to more detailed contract modification records.
