A complete delivery of all awarded items is expected normally the first week/month of the quarter.

Deliveries will be made Monday thru Friday from 8:00am -2:00pm.

Federal holiday deliveries will not be accepted.

Contractor failure to meet delivery schedules without an excusable delay and/or failure to conform to contract specifications will negatively affect the contractor's history of past performance. Past performance information may be used by the Government to make future award decisions and/or may result in a finding that the quoter is not responsible for the award of future requirements.

NOTE: Delivery schedules must be pre-arranged with the receiving warehouse.
