INFORMATION FOR ORDERING OFFICES

Special Notice to Agencies

Small Business Participation

The Small Business Administration (SBA) strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedule Program. To enhance small business participation, SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedule and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs or pricelists of at least three Schedule Contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! online shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov/advgsa/main_pages/start_page.jsp). The catalogs or pricelists, GSA Advantage!, and the Federal Supply Service homepage (www.fss.gsa.gov) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used to assist in including small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best-value determination.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

15. PURCHASE OF INCIDENTAL, NON-SCHEDULE ITEMS

For administrative convenience, open market (non-contract) items may be added to a Federal Supply Schedule BPA or an individual order, provided that the items are clearly labeled as such on the order, all applicable regulations have been followed, and price reasonableness has been determined by the ordering activity for the open market (non-contract) items. Non-contract items that exceed $2,500 will be competed on an open-market basis or added through modification to the contract. Other Direct Costs (ODCs) will be negotiated at the task order level.

16. CONTRACTOR COMMITMENTS, WARRANTIES, AND REPRESENTATIONS

a. For the purpose of this contract, commitments, warranties, and representations include (in addition to those agreed to for the entire schedule contract):

(1) Time of delivery or for individual orders

(2)

Technical representations or warranties of products concerning performance; total system performance or configuration; or physical, design or functional characteristics and capabilities of a product, equipment, service, or software package submitted in response to requirements that result in orders under this schedule contract

(3) Any representations or warranties concerning the products made in any literature, description, drawings, or specifications furnished by the Contractor

b. The above is not intended to encompass items not currently covered by the GSA Schedule contract.

17. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.201(a) defines BPAs as “… a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing ‘charge accounts’ with qualified sources of supply.” The use of BPAs under the Federal Supply Schedule Program is authorized in accordance with FAR 13.202 (c)(3), which reads, in part, as follows:

“BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule Contractors, if not inconsistent with the terms of the applicable schedule contract.” Federal Supply Schedule contracts contain BPA provisions to enable schedule users to maximize their administrative and purchasing savings. This feature permits schedule users to set up “accounts” with Schedule Contractors to fill recurring requirements. These accounts establish a period for the BPA and generally address issues such as the frequency of ordering and invoicing, authorized callers, discounts, and delivery locations and times. Agencies may qualify for the best quantity or volume discounts available under the contract, based on the potential volume of business that may be generated through such an agreement, regardless of the size of the individual orders. In addition, agencies may be able to secure a discount higher than that available in the contract based on the aggregate volume of business possible under a BPA. Finally, Contractors may be open to a progressive type of discounting where the discount would increase once the sales accumulated under the BPA reach certain prescribed levels. Use of a BPA may be particularly useful with the new maximum order feature. See the suggested BPA format, contained in this Schedule Pricelist, for customers to consider when using this purchasing tool.

18. CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS

Federal Supply Schedule Contractors may use “Contractor Team Arrangements” (see FAR 9.6) to provide solutions when responding to a customer agency requirement. The policy and procedures outlined in this section will provide more flexibility and allow innovative acquisition methods when Federal Supply Schedules are used.

19. SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE

If applicable, Section 508 compliance information on the supplies and services in this contract are available in Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) format at the following address:

The EIT Standard can be found at: www.Section508.gov/.
