SOE PROGRAM PROCUREMENT STEPS
- The SOE contract is a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) with four companies on board to bid projects / parts. The current award ceiling is $33B over the 10-year contract period.
- The program office submits requirements to DLA. DLA checks for scope (2-3 days), then sends the requirement to all four companies on the MAC to bid on.
- After a three-day bid window, DLA reviews the bids submitted and sends the lowest bid to the government customer to fund (or consider for 30 days).
- Once the program office decides to fund the order, they send funding to DLA to award the contract. DLA charges a 5.4% contracting fee on orders under $5M. Orders over $5M are charged a 2% fee.
