K. 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).

L. If supplies shipped are not packaged, packed, and marked in accordance with contract requirements, the Government has the right, without prior notice to the Contractor, to perform the required repackaging/repacking/ remarking, by contract or otherwise, and charge the Contractor therefore at the following rates:

Signature Date

M. 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 verifying 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 feature. 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 RECEIVING NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR AWARD**.

N. 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.

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

P. 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 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
