INTRODUCTION
Krech Ojard & Associates, P.A.
Krech Ojard & Associates now has the ability to better connect with our ever growing group of Federal Clients. On June 25, 2009 Krech Ojard & Associates, P.A. was awarded a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract. Under this Schedule Contract KOA is authorized to supply Professional Engineering Services (PES) through SIN(s) 1, 2, and 7.
What are SIN(s)?
SIN stands for Special Item Number. GSA uses Special Item Numbers as a way to break out complex services such as those offered under the broad title of Professional Engineering. Think of a SIN to be similar to a catalog number assigned to a product. It is important to note that a related numbering system is applied to overall categories as well. For example Professional Engineering Services (PES) is given the number 871, referred to by GSA as the category number.
The PES/SIN combinations that are listed in KOA’s GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract are:
871 1 – Strategic Planning for
Technology Programs/Activities
871 2 – Concept Development
and Requirements Analysis
871 7 – Construction Management
What Are the Advantages of Using the GSA Schedule?
For federal clients the GSA Federal Supply Schedule Program makes it easier to purchase commercial services. Under this program GSA has entered into contract with KOA to provide various services to any agency of the federal government. Because the procurement process has already been streamlined – capabilities have been reviewed, rates have been negotiated, and KOA has been prequalified – all a federal client must do is place an order directly with and receive services directly from KOA. Federal clients therefore can significantly reduce the funding and time necessary to obtain services. Finally the relationship between KOA and our federal clients is a direct one – our clients attain a quality end product delivered on time, within budget and always through superior service.

The following agencies and organizations can use the KOA GSA Schedule Contract:
• All military and civilian federal

• All executive, legislative, and
judicial branches of the government
