- Description
- NOTICE: GSA is in the process of transitioning to one Multiple Award Schedule for Professional Services, which is anticipated to occur in mid to late 2015. The new Schedule will be based on the existing platform for the Consolidated Schedule under the solicitation FCO00CORP0000C, which includes all the Special Item Numbers contained in this solicitation. GSA requests that vendors submit offers for professional services under the Consolidated Schedule solicitation rather than this Schedule solicitation, in order to avoid any potential system or administrative issues that may accompany the transition to the new Schedule. NOTICE: The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program has experienced a significant and sustained increase in new offers over the past several years. Due to the large number of new offers currently in process, it may take up to 12 months or longer before an offer is evaluated. Historically, GSA's practice was to evaluate offers in the order in which they were received. GSA now processes offers in the manner that is determined to be most effective, considering strategic or tactical priorities, customer requirements, available personnel resources, complexity and/or quality of the offers received, and other factors of relevance to the MAS program. 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. Notice is hereby provided that the Standing Solicitation for Multiple Award Schedule 541: Advertising and Integrated Marketing Solutions (AIMS) has been refreshed.
