  2. NDAA 13, Section 331 • H 4310 NDAA 2013, authorizes military installations to enter into Intergovernmental Support Agreements (IGSA) with State and Local Governments to provide, receive, or share installation-support services if determined be in the best interests of the Department. • IGSA (aka Public-Public Partnerships) characteristics include: • Ability to sole-source with public entities • May use wage grades normally paid by State or local governments • - Enhancing mission effectiveness • Creating efficiencies and economies of scale by reducing costs • - Army or municipality must already provide the service • Excludes security guard or fire-fighting functions • Partnership agreements not to exceed 5 years 2

  3. Multi-phased Intergovernmental Agreement (IGSA) Strategy • Phase I: ASA IE&E issued IGSA directive (24 Jun 13) • Phase II: ACSIM issues EXORD to ACOM/DRUs • EXORD issued as interim Army IGSA guidance • Phase III: ACSIM evaluates universe of IGSAs • Initiates Pilots • Develops lessons learned • Phase IV: Codify and promulgate IGSA Guidance 3

  4. Phase I: Issue IGSA Directive • Directive signed by ASA IE&E on 24 Jun 13 • Installations to “seek out public-public partnerships to maximize cost savings and cost avoidance through shared services” • Every installation to “evaluate opportunities and dialogue with State and local governments to identify opportunities for shared services”

  5. Phase II: Issue EXORD • Benchmark existing partnerships and those currently “in the pipeline” • Establish benchmark for partnerships existing prior to NDAA 13 • Assess for possible Best Practices & identify functional categories • Identify mechanisms used to establish partnerships (e.g., MOUs, MOAs) • Initiate pilots to assess various scenarios/challenges to implementing IGSAs • Pilot sites chosen from IMCOM, AMC, MEDCOM, USAR, ARNG • Direct coordination through legal, contracting & small business POCs during proposal development 5

  6. Phase III: Evaluate IGSAs (Partnerships) • ACSIM evaluates universe of existing IGSAs • Initiates pilots • Develops lessons learned • ACSIM review portfolio of pilot IGSAs at 6 and12 months after the EXORD issued • Detect trends • Ascertain progress • Prepare joint service newsletter on IGSA Best Practices • Assess conditions for delegation of partnership approval authority • Consider future options for joint service, regional partnerships • Develop IGSA report in response to SASC Language (anticipated) in NDAA FY14 6

  7. Phase IV: Codify and Promulgate IGSA Guidance • Establish clear definitions of approval tiers • Possible addition of dollar threshold values applied to approval levels • Establish metrics, progress reporting, and oversight process • Pending no major Legislative, Acquisition, Small Business or Finance and Accounting problems, will codify and promulgate further guidance in FY14 7

  8. Challenges • Ensure that there is a methodology to promote fairness in dealing with multiple communities that exist outside of each Army installation/site • Ensure that all IGSAs have a solid business case analysis • Ensure that Army balances the desire for efficiencies with Small Business contracting goals • Per OGC, ensure that Army is protected from undue liabilities • Ensure that Communities can receive payment from Army in a reasonable timeframe • Ensure a common understanding of the IGSA process by local Contracting Offices and SJAs. 8

  9. Summary • To accelerate use of IGSAs, will consider maximum delegation of approval authority, when appropriate, and balance with risk • We will maintain close ties with other Services to share ideas • and lessons learned • If changes in guidance, policy, regulation or law are required, will rely on the ARSTAF to proactively address them 9
