GENERAL

Purpose


This guide provides the procedures for ordering IT services-based solutions under the Alliant GWAC. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the major parties involved in the ordering process, and it provides helpful instructions for using the contract.
The Alliant GWAC will be referred to as “Alliant” while Task Orders issued against Alliant will be called “Orders.” The Contracting Officer with authority over Alliant will be referred to as the “GWAC CO” and the Contracting Officer authorized to issue and administer Orders will be referred to as the “Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO)”. See Appendix A for Glossary of Acronyms. This guide does not replace ordering agency policies or best practices, and does not take precedence over the terms and conditions of Alliant. It is the responsibility of the OCO to follow statutes, regulations, and agency-specific policies regarding the issuance of an Order and to incorporate those requirements at the Order level.
Updates to this ordering guide and other helpful information will be posted on the Alliant website at http://www.gsa.gov/alliant.
