Vendor Question

Response

Answer

We have located several NRS and USDA style guides including USDA Visual Management Manual. Will NRS please provide the exact Style guide desired for this contract?
If you are awarded a contract, we will provide style guide appropriate for the product.

Generally, we use the GPO style manual and the PNW Authors Guide; the latter is not generally available to the public (though you might find an early version on the Internet.)

Please confirm the address that final material are to be shipped and picked up?

USDA Forest Service, Northeastern Research Station 359, Main Rd. Delaware, Ohio 43015

In reference to G1, This seems to provide preference to a specific local vendor rather that permitting fair and open competition. Please establish that source materials can be picked up or delivered electronically?
Currently, nearly everything is shipped via electronic means: email, ftp site, etc. The original document, from which this text was taken, was developed before the array of choices was available.

We have worked with contractors all over the country and have had no problem in sending, or receiving information in a timely fashion.
