Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) – Part 4 (Example Agreement)

Resource Category:Business DevelopmentTeaming
Resource Type:Strategy Guide

This detailed template provides a complete, ready-to-use Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) agreement between GSA Schedule holders, demonstrating proper legal structure and compliant language for real-world implementation. Small businesses often struggle with creating legally sound CTA documents that satisfy both GSA requirements and protect their commercial interests, making this practical example essential for avoiding costly contract disputes and ensuring proper team formation.

The template incorporates all required CTA elements including party identification, task order procedures, pricing structures, Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) responsibilities, and performance management protocols that comply with GSA Schedule regulations. Additionally, it addresses complex scenarios such as Team Member Direct Awardee provisions, quality control measures, and liability limitations that protect all parties while maintaining the operational flexibility necessary for successful government contract execution.

The RSM Federal Sales Training Center created this example agreement to provide contractors with a proven template to ensure GSA compliance from the outset. This comprehensive document serves as both a practical tool for immediate use and an educational resource that demonstrates proper CTA structuring, enabling contractors to confidently establish teaming partnerships and win government contracts through professionally executed arrangements. RSM Federal does not provide legal advice. Consult your attorney once you draft your agreement.
