- Description
- This is a modification to change the response date from May 1, 2004 to March 1, 2004. This is an invitation to pre-qualify. This is not a request for proposals (RFP). All interested parties are encouraged to participate. The U.S. Postal Service, in anticipation of issuing a solicitation for the acquisition of electrical switchgear equipment services (maintenance, testing and minor repairs) for the Postal Service on a national basis, is seeking to pre-qualify a limited number of qualified suppliers. As a result of the solicitation, multiple awards are anticipated. The subsequent contracts will require suppliers to provide the Postal Service with a full-range of electrical switchgear equipment services to all Postal locations in 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. Suppliers will provide and maintain an electronic catalog hosted on the eBuy. Orders placed through eBuy by Postal buyers will be passed electronically to the supplier, and invoicing/payment will also be accomplished through eBuy using 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 monthly and quarterly reports and to provide and coordinate all service and client requirements. 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 package are available for mailing. The closing date for the submission of the Invitation to Pre-Qualify package will be March 1, 2004. No invitations will be accepted after this date.
