Who Can Order Tetra Tech NUS Services from the GSA Schedule?

The following agencies and organizations can use the Tetra Tech NUS GSA Schedule:

  • All military and civilian federal agencies
  • All executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government
  • Government contractors authorized by a federal agency pursuant to 48 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 51.1
  • Mixed-ownership government corporations, as defined by the Government Corporation Act

What are the advantages of using the GSA Schedule?
GSA’s Federal Supply Schedule Program makes it easier for federal customers to buy Tetra Tech NUS services. Under the program, GSA has entered into a contract with Tetra Tech NUS to provide products and services to any agency of the federal government. Because the procurement process is streamlined—that is, capabilities have been reviewed, rates have been negotiated, and prequalification is complete, a federal customer can place an order directly with Tetra Tech NUS. This streamlined process can significantly reduce the time required to obtain services to as little as two weeks. Finally, the relationship between Tetra Tech NUS and the customer is a direct one—the customer need not transfer funds to GSA.

 
How do I use the GSA Schedule?

or

  • Identify short-term and long-term requirements.

  • Prepare a statement of work (scope, schedule, and deliverables) and establish a funding mechanism.

  • For orders of less than $2,500, select the contractor that is best suited to your needs and arrange for your contracting officer to place the order directly with the contractor.

  • For orders of more than $2,500, have your contracting officer issue the statement of work and a request for quotation to three prequalified environmental advisory service firms.

  • After you have received the responses to the request for quotation, review them to identify the best value and place your order.
