- Description
- GSA MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE (MAS) SOLICITATION. The Greater Southwest Acquisition Center, Fort Worth, Texas, is issuing a refreshed solicitation effective June 4, 2013 electronically. IMPORTANT: CURRENT SCHEDULE 541 CONTRACTORS DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NOTICE: The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program has recently experienced a tremendous increase in new offers. Due to the large number of new offers currently in process, it could take up to 12 months before your offer is evaluated. GSA's practice is to evaluate offers in the order in which they are received. However, GSA may give priority to processing certain offers when circumstances dictate, such as when a federal agency Contracting Officer specifically requests an expedited offer review in order to meet a pending requirement that will be procured under the MAS program, or when there is a need for GSA to bring strategically critical new products or services to market in order to meet federal customer needs. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES: Please review the solicitation document for clause changes. Please note that all vendors submitting an offer under this Solicitation must be registered in the System For Award Management (SAM) website. The SAM website can be accessed https://www.sam.gov. Please note that any offer submitted after July 4, 2013 MUST be submitted on the Solicitation dated June 4, 2013 (Refresh #16) and must be submitted through the eOffer system. Offers submitted on prior versions received after July 4, 2013 will not be accepted. NOTICE: As part of GSA's continuing effort to improve the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program, the following requirements have been incorporated, effective the date of this refresh. FULL PRODUCTS AND BROAD SERVICES OFFERING Offeror must provide a full and broad offering on services and/or products. Offers will not be accepted with only limited item/offering (product, labor category, training course, or fixed-price service) unless it represents a total solution for the Special Item Numbers (SINs). FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICING To determine fair and reasonable pricing, the GSA Contracting Officer may consider many factors, including pricing on competitor contracts, historical pricing, and currently available pricing in other venues. Offers which provide Most Favored Customer pricing, but which are not highly competitive will not be found fair and reasonable and will not be accepted. NOTICE: Effective July 1, 2013, the following SINs will no longer be set-aside for small business concerns: 541 3, 541 4D, 541 4E and 541 4F. Additionally, new offers will no longer be accepted under Other Direct Cost (ODC) SIN 541 2000 as the small business set-aside designation is being removed from SIN(s) 541 3, 541 4D, 541 4E and 541 4F, respectively. Offers that would have been previously submitted under ODC SIN 541 2000 may now be submitted under ODC SIN 541 1000. Interested parties may access the solicitation at: https://www.fbo.gov/.
