Procurement Request Package Submission Dates
Below is a list of IBC's Acquisition Services recurring year-end cut off dates to submit executable procurement packages funded with that year appropriation. If any of these dates fall on a weekend or holiday, the due date is the immediate federal work-day following that weekend or holiday.
An acceptable procurement package includes an approved and funded procurement request (PR); a final independent government cost estimate (IGCE); and an actionable statement of work (SOW), performance work statement (PWS), or specifications.
While we have developed these year-end cut off dates to help ensure all actions are awarded as part of normal business, we understand budgetary challenges and urgent needs may arise late in the fiscal year. In these cases, IBC may still be able to process actions after the end-of-year cut off dates; however, we request our customers include a memorandum signed by the customer Senior Executive or Office Director for all procurement packages submitted after the cut-off date explaining the reason for its late submission. This memo shall be accompanied by the complete SOW/PWS/specifications and IGCE.
