COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JANUARY 11,2000 PSA#251335 -- INVITATION TO INDUSTRY FORUM -- HARDWARESUPERSTORE Dear Valued
Partner: The Hardware & Appliances Center is expanding. To further our
expansion, a major effort is currently underway to implement changes
to the Multiple Award Federal Supply Schedules. In order to keep you up
to date on these changes, and to receive your input to our proposed
changes, we are conducting a GSA industry forum. This forum will
highlight the major changes being proposed and provide updates on other
topics such as "GSA Advantage!", JWOD, UNICOR, SBA, Electronic
Invoicing, Electronic Posting System. We will also be introducing our
newest lineup of service contracting, Preparation and Application of
Chemical Compounds "PACC(WORLD)", and the "Beautification Center",
which will include grounds maintenance, pesticide application, tree
trimming and removal, and snow removal. For your convenience, an
invitation to our forum is enclosed. Your attendance at this forum is
of utmost importance to us, and we encourage your full participation.
Through our relationship over the years, our discussions have shown
that it would be both advantageous and beneficial to you and our
customers, to simplify our buying process. This will be accomplished by
reorganizing our existing multiple award Federal Supply Schedules 37 II
A, 41 I, 51 B, 51 V, 80 I A, and 80 III A, and consolidating them into
a single schedule under the: HardwareSuperstore Specific information
on these proposed changes and the items included in each grouping will
be posted on our new Internet website which is
http://pub.fss.gsa.gov/HardwareSuperstore. You may soon view the
proposed changes by clicking on our drop-down menu in the category
"What's New?", or a copy of the proposed changes once available may be
obtained via written request at the telefax number stated below. Our
website will be interactive and we do encourage your input to our
proposed changes via "comments and suggestions". However, if you
prefer, you may telefax your comments to (816) 823-3109. Finally, any
information you require relating to the above may be requested and
received by calling Larry Schmoll at (816) 823-1287, or Ellie Upchurch
