- Description
- IMPORTANT: CURRENT SCHEDULE 056 CONTRACTORS DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT GSA MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE (MAS) SOLICITATION. Greater Southwest Acquisition Center, Fort Worth, TX, is issuing a refreshed solicitation for Schedule 56, effective 6/12/18. The solicitation is available electronically at: http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Search using Solicitation Number 7FCI-F8-030056-B (include the dashes). Schedule 56, Buildings and Building Materials/Industrial Services and Supplies, includes the following programs: FSC 39, Warehouse Equipment and Supplies; FSC 46, Air & Water Purification and Sewer Treatment Equipment; FSC 49, Maintenance & Repair Shop Equipment; FSC 54, Pre-Engineered/Prefabricated Buildings and Structures; FSC 54, Above Ground Storage Tanks; FSC 56, Building Materials; FSC 61, Power Distribution Equipment; Generators, & Batteries; FSC 62, Solar Energy Systems & Lighting Products. Schedule 56 actively solicits offers for alternative/renewable energy products and systems, energy efficient products, green products, such as green roof systems, and environmentally friendly products/services. This is a standing solicitation with no closing date for receipt of offers. Effective January 17, 2011, products added by modification to current contracts or awarded under new contracts for Special Item Numbers (SINs) 206-4, Energy Saving Lighting, Energy Efficient and/or Environmentally Friendly Lamps (light bulbs). SIGNIFICANT CHANGES: This refresh incorporates provisions for Commercial Supplier Agreements (CSAs) and updated Wage Determinations. GSA adopted as final, with changes, proposed rule 2015-G512 - Unenforceable Commercial Supplier Agreement (CSA) Terms on February 22, 2018. The GSAR has been amended to incorporate the final rule, which addresses common CSA terms and conditions that are inconsistent with or create ambiguity with federal law. The rule addresses these common unenforceable terms within GSA deviated Commercial Items Clause 552.212-4. This approach decreases the time needed for legal review prior to contract formation, significantly reduces costs to both the government and contractors, and further clarifies expectations for all parties. This rule is an important step to improve the acquisition process, and ensures that GSA's contracting vehicles remain the best-value solution for both federal agency customers and industry partners. Note the following significant changes: GSAR 552.212-4(s)Reverts the order of precedence to move Addenda to the solicitation or contract, including any license agreements for computer software back to number 4, and Solicitation provisions of the solicitation and Other paragraphs of the clause back to number 5 and 6, respectively. Additionally, language was added to clarify the Commercial Supplier Agreements - Unenforceable Clauses provision takes precedence over the commercial supplier agreement terms and conditions. GSAR 552.212-4(w)(1)(vi)Deletes the requirement for providing full text terms with the offer, adds a definition of a material change, and adds clarification on when a CSA must be bilaterally modified in the contract. Existing versions of FAR clause 52.212-4 and GSAM clause 552.212-4 will be REPLACED, as applicable, with the following: 552.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions Commercial Items (JAN 2017) (DEVIATION - FEB 2007) (DEVIATION - FEB 2018) 552.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions Commercial Items (JAN 2017) (DEVIATION - FEB 2018) (ALTERNATE I - JAN 2017) (DEVIATION - FEB 2007) 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 a need for GSA to bring strategically critical new products or services to market in order to meet federal customer needs. The solicitation will remain in effect until it is replaced by a refreshed solicitation. The Federal Supply Schedule period is continuous; contract periods commence on the date of award (DOA) and expire five years from the DOA unless further extended pursuant to option clause, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Evergreen), which allows the Government to extend the contract three additional five-year periods, not to exceed a total of twenty years. All contracts will be indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts with a $2500 guaranteed minimum for the contract period. All contracts to be awarded include Industrial Funding provisions. The Trade Agreements Act applies to this solicitation. Small Business Set-Aside provisions will be addressed in the individual product/services attachments to the solicitation. Paper offers will no longer be accepted for this schedule. The section at the beginning of the Vendor Response Document providing instructions for submitting a paper offer should be disregarded; Schedule 56 is a mandatory eOffer schedule. For questions regarding submission of offers under Schedule 056, Buildings and Building Materials/Industrial Services and Supplies, Solicitation 7FCI-F8-03-0056-B contact Haley Naegele at 817-850-8444, or via email at haley.naegele@gsa.gov ; or Mataya Jordan at 817-850-8161, or via email at mataya.jordan@gsa.gov.
