- Description
- This is an Invitation to Pre-Qualify, not a request for proposal (RFP). The U. S. Postal Service, in anticipation of issuing a solicitation for the rental and laundry services of mops (dust and wet), mats (indoor and outdoor), shop towels, uniforms, and related items (referred hereafter as ?custodial rental items?) on a national basis, is seeking to pre-qualify a limited number of suppliers. As a result of the solicitation, the USPS intends to award a single or multiple national contract(s). Subsequent contracts will require suppliers to provide, pick-up, clean, and deliver a full range of custodial rental items to as many as 28,000 USPS locations within the forty-eight contiguous United States, as well as Alaska, Hawaii and its related islands, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands. The contracts will also require suppliers to design and implement cost reduction processes throughout the supply chain, applying the principles of Supply Chain Management (SCM). The preferred method of doing business will be to utilize electronic data interchange (EDI) through the Postal Service?s internal Web-Based Purchasing System, eBuy. The supplier must provide and maintain a hard copy, as well as an electronic, catalog. Orders placed through eBuy will be passed electronically to the supplier. Invoicing and payment will also be accomplished via EDI, utilizing, a unique, Postal provided, customer delivery address (FEDSTRIP) number. As all Postal buyers do not have Internet access, the supplier will also be required to provide traditional ordering methods including telephone, fax, and mail. Suppliers will be required to submit quarterly reports and to provide and coordinate all customer service training. The contracts will also require suppliers, if not small businesses themselves, to provide a sub-contracting plan that addresses sub-contracting with small, minority and woman-owned businesses. Suppliers seeking placement on the pre-qualified list must demonstrate that they possess the financial, technical, organizational and managerial resources, and have the experience, operational capability, and quality assurance programs necessary to perform a national contract of this size and scope. Only fifty (50) printed copies of the Invitation to Pre-Quality Package are available for mailing. The closing date for the submission of the Invitation to Pre-Quality package will be June 24, 2002. No Invitations will be accepted after this date. All interested parties are encouraged to participate. This is not a request for proposal (RFP).
