O. Vendors are responsible for submitting quotes, so as to reach by email the Government office designated in the RFQ by the time specified (See

Block 8 of the SF-1449). It is preferred that each quote package be submitted as an attachment to the RFQ response via email. If quote is received later than the exact time specified in block 10 of the RFQ, it will be considered “late” and will not be accepted.

Signature Date

Q. SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED:

1. DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE/DRAWINGS. Clear identification is the sole responsibility of the quoter and descriptive literature for ALL the products being offered is required at the time of quote. The Government will use this descriptive literature as a means of ver ifying product compliance with the Item Purchase Description(s) (IPDs). Pursuant to FAR 52.211-6 Brand Name of Equal, if you are quoting an “equal” item, your quote must provide sufficient literature identifying the page and paragraph where the information can be found to show compliance with each salient. The Government reserves the right to seek additional information/clarification about the descriptive literature being provided.

**FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTATION IDENTIFIED IN #1 ABOVE MAY RESULT IN YOUR QUOTATION BEING CONSIDERED NON-COMPLAINT AND WILL RECEIVE NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR AWARD**.

R. There will be no minimum order amount under this SQA.

S. Deliveries to civilian activities: Supplies shall be marked in accordance with Federal Standard 123, edition in effect on the date of issuance of the solicitation.

Deliveries to military activities: Supplies shall be marked in accordance with Military Standard 129, edition in effect on the date of issuance of the solicitation.

T. Price increases, regarding any subsequent SQA, will be a matter for negotiation.

U. GSA’s Order Management Service (OMS) will process orders utilizing only Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Vendor Portal (VP).

Facsimile transmitted orders will no longer be an option.

EDI provides for fully electronic processing of all ordering transactions

VP provides an internet portal for vendors to retrieve orders and manually input transactional data.

EDI is the preferred business transaction processing method, but vendors with small order volumes and less technical proficiency may use VP for reasons of lower overall costs and/or higher implementation costs for EDI.

Vendors are hereby notified that all new awardees are required to select either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or OMS Vendor Portal (VP) to interface with GSA Global Supply on receiving orders resulting from their award. EDI is the preferred method of order transmission to our vendors but OMS Vendor Portal is an acceptable means of transmission.

Vendors are required to review the instructions regarding enrollment in either one of these systems and processes contained in Attachment 1 on pages 40 – 45 of this solicitation/RFQ.

Enrollment in either program is required upon award and must be requested no later than 5 days after receipt of award. Failure to enroll may cause your award to be cancelled or terminated.

For further instructions on how to enroll in either program please contact the following:

EDI: GSAEDI@gsa.gov or EDI Help Desk at 703-605-9444 / Vendor Portal: Gee.Jeon@gsa.gov or NCSC at 800-488-3111

(a) Definitions:

IPPC Country: Countries of the European Union (EU) or any other country endorsing the International Plant

Protection Convention (IPPC) “Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Material in International Trade,” approved March 15, 2002. A listing of countries participating in the IPPC is found at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/plants/plants_exports/wpm/country/index.shtml Non-Manufactured wood, is also called solid wood and defined as wood packing other than that comprised wholly of wood-based products such as plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, veneer, wood wool, and similar materials, which has been created using glue, heat and pressure or a combination thereof.

Packaged material, and Solid Wood Packing Material (SWPM), for purposes of this clause, is defined as each separate and distinct material that by itself or in combination with other materials forms the container providing a means of protecting and handling a product. This includes, but is not limited to, pallets, dunnage, crating, packing blocks, drums, load boards, pallet collars, and skids.

(b) Non-manufactured wood pallets and other non-manufactured wood packaging material used to pack items for delivery to or through IPPC countries must be marked and properly treated in accordance with IPPC guidelines.

(c) This requirement applies whether the shipment is direct to the end user or through a Government designated consolidation point. Packaging that does not conform to IPPC guidelines will be refused entry, destroyed or treated prior to entry.

(d) For Department of Defense distribution facilities or freight consolidation points, all non-manufactured wood pallets or packaging material with a probability of entering countries endorsing the IPPC Guidelines must be treated and marked in accordance with DLA 47.305-1 (available at http://www.dla.mil/j-3/j-3311/DLAD/rev5.htm), and MIL-STD-2073-1, Standard Practice for Military Packaging (and any future revision).

(e) Pallets and packing material shipped to FAS distribution facilities designated for possible delivery to the countries endorsing the IPPC Guidelines will comply with DLAD 47.305-1, and MIL-STD-2073-1.

Deliveries or Performance

52.247-34 F.O.B. DESTINATION (NOV 1991)

(a) The term "f.o.b. destination," as used in this clause, means--

(1) Free of expense to the Government, on board the carrier's conveyance, at a specified delivery point where the consignee's facility (plant, warehouse, store, lot, or other location to which shipment can be made) is located; and

(2) Supplies shall be delivered to the destination consignee's wharf (if destination is a port city and supplies are for export), warehouse unloading platform, or receiving dock, at the expense of the Contractor. The Government shall not be liable for any delivery, storage, demurrage, accessorial, or other charges involved before the actual delivery (or "constructive placement" as defined in carrier tariffs) of the supplies to the destination, unless such charges are caused by an act or order of the Government acting in its contractual capacity. If rail carrier is used, supplies shall be delivered to the specified unloading platform of the consignee. If motor carrier (including "piggyback") is used, supplies shall be delivered to truck tailgate at the unloading platform of the consignee, except when the supplies delivered meet the requirements of Item 568 of the National Motor Freight Classification for "heavy

47QSWB-19-A-0003-SQA – Sealing Machine Page 10 of 45 or bulky freight." When supplies meeting the requirements of the referenced Item 568 are delivered, unloading (including movement to the tailgate) shall be performed by the consignee, with assistance from the truck driver, if requested. If the Contractor uses rail carrier or freight forwarder for less than carload shipments, the Contractor shall ensure that the carrier will furnish tailgate delivery, when required, if transfer to truck is required to complete delivery to consignee.

(b) The Contractor shall--

(1) (i) Pack and mark the shipment to comply with contract specifications; or

(ii) In the absence of specifications, prepare the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements;

(2) Prepare and distribute commercial bills of lading;

Other commercial services shall not be used, but this does not preclude the Contractor from making delivery by the use of the Contractor's own vehicles.

(b) Time of Delivery. Notwithstanding the required time for delivery to destination as may be specified elsewhere in this contract, if shipments under this clause are mailed not later than five (5) calendar days before the required delivery date, delivery shall be deemed to have been made timely.
