Access Procedures

TESS is flexible, and the TESS contractor can provide any type of service, ranging from diagnostics to assist a mission in determining the best type of program, to program design, to implementation.

Step One

To begin the process, acquiring Missions/Bureaus should decide the type of service they require, and the type of funding they will use: i.e. buy-in, co-financing, core funding.

Step Two

The Task Order CTO should draft a statement of work for a specific activity, and then clear it with the TESS Component Manager, in EGAT/OEG: Dan Rathbun. Dan Rathbun can also assist you in developing/revising the scope of work.

Step Three

Begin work! Since the TESS Task Order is already approved, there is no further paperwork required.
