AMD provides a wide array of acquisition, financial assistance and administrative services to various USDA customers. The acquisition actions processed by the AMD range from simplified acquisitions to complex and technical requirements for supplies, services, and Intra-Agency agreements. Majority of services provided by the AMD are performed in house by Government acquisition personnel. However, certain administrative services require support services from commercial sources to meet agency needs and compliance. This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the services, which will be required under the resulting contract. 1.2 As a result of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, AMD thrives to completely transition to and utilize the Integrated Acquisition System (IAS) as their electronic filing database for all contracts and associated contract file documentation. IAS is the official contract writing and file of record database in electronic format that USDA's acquisition community uses. All documents must be created using the existing AMD templates. As soon as any given document is created, it is saved using the exact filing nomenclature listed in the IAS "Master Folder Reference List for Electronic Acquisition File Index" (Attachment 1 - in draft format pending final version). Completed and signed documents must be saved under corresponding IAS Master Folders. In order for AMD to complete this transition, all existing contract paper files are to be scanned, saved, adequately titled, and stored in the respective folders in IAS.
