Cross Teaming Sample Clauses

Cross Teaming. 4.8.1 Cross-teaming. A teaming arrangement in which prime Contractors participate as a subcontractor/team member with another Prime or team member/subcontractor and/or subcontracts/teams with more than one prime Contractor. Contractors may, for example, compete as the Prime for one team and a subcontractor for another team. FAR Subpart 9.6 notes that Contractor team arrangements can benefit the Government by enhancing capabilities, performance, cost, and delivery factors. These arrangements can provide significant business benefits to the teaming partners, such as enhanced system and subsystem capabilities, a more substantial and relevant past performance record and greater diversity, and ability to meet small business preferences and goals. It is the Government's policy to recognize the integrity and validity of Contractor team arrangements and to not restrict the market provided the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer, or for arrangements entered into after the submission of an offer, before the arrangements become effective. 4.8.2 Joint-Ventures (JV); will be allowed under this acquisition, FAR 4.102(d) applies.

Cross Teaming. The Government has determined that cross-teaming, also known as “over/under agreements” shall not be authorized on the SCS IDIQ. This applies to individual members of a Joint Venture (JV), as well as the JV itself. Cross-teaming is defined as an SCS Prime contractor teaming as a subcontractor for another SCS Prime contractor.
