The information included in this section of the RSPO website is designed to provide information and resources for NPS faculty and staff on the process of securing contractual services. The goal of the RSPO is to facilitate this process so that the requestor is able to arrange for the needed services in the required timeframe at a favorable cost, while complying with the related government guidance.
Here is a flowchart of the NPS contracting process. This is a general representation of the contracting process and is not meant to capture every step and/or action but should provide a basic overall understanding of the process.
Sample forms are located here.
Timelines:
Steps 1-4 are under the control of the requestor.
Step 5 should take one to three days if the contract request package is complete when received by thee RSPO contracts staff.
Step 6 and 7 should take one to three days.
Step 8 will take from three days to six months, depending on the type of contract and dollar amount.
Step 9 cannot occur until the contract has been awarded or the contracting officer has given the contractor a verbal order to proceed.
