Digitally signing the 1449 with your digital certificate is considered legally binding and is considered an acceptable method of signing the form.

Background:

The FSSI OS1 was the premier contract that resulted in an estimated $35M in Office Supplies sales. FSSI OS2, the second generation office supplies acquisition, consisted of blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) awarded off a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) which also produced successful results; however, OS2 expires in May 2014, creating the requirement for a new acquisition vehicle. In Fiscal Year 2013 the FSSI OS2 BPAs have resulted in $48.6M in savings, with a Government Spend of $246.1M. Totals are expected to reach over $800M during the OS2 life cycle. The current MAS 75 has over 400 active contracts with a wide price range variance and has been closed to new offers since October 2010. The current acquisition, FSSI OS3, is an effort to concurrently carry out the Office of Management and Budget's and the GSA Administrator's mandate to maximize use of FSSI while building a new, more sustainable business model. The new model, which eliminates an acquisition level of contracting (i.e. the BPAs) is designed to leverage industry purchasing volume power and dynamic pricing capabilities to the maximum extent, will increase internal efficiencies and our effectiveness in supporting customer requirements, will increase small business opportunity while lowering Government costs and will increase savings to customer agencies and ultimately, the taxpayer.

The goal of the OS3 acquisition is to provide our customers with a wide and best range of commercial office products and services, faster delivery, and better reporting information on orders and products, at the lowest overall costs.

Personal conflict of interest means a situation in which a covered employee has a financial interest, personal activity, or relationship that could impair the employee’s ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Government when performing under the contract.

(B) Other employment or financial relationships of the covered employee (including seeking or negotiating for prospective employment or business).

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is

4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the

Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the

Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the

Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the

RFP OS3-Purchasing Page 19

Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
