The COMMITS NexGen Program Office will negotiate a Customer Service Agreement with the customer for all task order requirements on this contract. The CSA defines the level of service the COMMITS NexGen Program Office will provide to the customer, acquisition cycle times, service fees, and funding amounts or scenarios. See template of a COMMITS NexGen CSA.

When the contracting function is to be performed by the COMMITS NexGen Program Office, the customer must transfer funding via a MIPR (DD Form 448), Interagency Agreement, or other instrument to the program office in an amount sufficient to cover the initial service fee.

A.  For task orders and modifications awarded under a Delegation of Procurement Authority DPA, the service fee is payable to the COMMITS NexGen Program Office following award of each task order or modification.

B.  Service fees are assessed at the time task order funding is obligated for each discrete period of performance.

C.  Initial service fees are calculated based on the task order value awarded for the base period of performance or initial requirement. When base periods are incrementally funded, the initial service fee will be assessed at the time of each incremental obligation.

D.  Pending fiscal year funding, task orders may be issued “subject to availability of funding.”  In such cases, payment of the service fee will be contingent upon the customer’s ability to fund the task order.

E. The service fee for a given period of performance shall be adjusted to reflect the level of effort that is actually funded.
