Instructions Third-Generation Office Supplies (OS-3) - Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative Price-Proposal Submission Instructions

General Instructions Beginning with the 'Proposal Summary Sheet', contractors must complete all mandatory fields (denoted by the light-yellow background depicted in this field). Required fields in rows 2-8 of the 'Toner', 'Paper' and 'General Office Products' tabs are automatically populated based on the contractors submission in the 'Proposal Summary Sheet'. Offerors are required to provide items which meet the Item Purchase Descriptions (IPDs) for each corresponding NSN included in this solicitation's attached IPD zip files. In addition to line-item pricing, contractors will receive credit of up to a maximum of 5% for providing automatic discounts at the specified delivery order size thresholds. The credit is calculated at one-half of the offered discount times the number of tiers for which the discount is applicable (for example, a flat discount of 5% for all orders over $300 would yield a 2.5% reduction in the adjusted market basket proposal). Please note that fractional cents are rounded to the nearest to the nearest penny.

Area(s) of Consideration for Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) Submissions Please note the drop-down menu with Socioeconomic requirements for the "Area(s) of Consideration" field. Select the option that reflects all CLIN's for which you meet the Socioeconomic status requirements and wish to receive proposal consideration. Options include: A) 0001 - General Office Products --- B) 0002 - Office Paper (Preference for Small Business) --- C) 0003 - Toner & Inkjet (Preference for Small Business) --- D) 0001 - General Office Products, 0002 - Office Paper --- E) 0001 - General Office Products, 0003 - Toner & Inkjet --- F) 0002 - Office Paper, 0003 - Toner & Inkjet --- G) 0001 - General Office Products, 0002 - Office Paper, 0003 - Toner & Inkjet

Price-Proposal Evaluation Once the "Proposal Summary Sheet" has been completed, contractors should complete all applicable category tabs. CLIN 0001 requires completion of the "General Office Products" tab, CLIN 0002 requires completion of the "Paper" tab, and CLIN 0003 requires completion of the "Toner" tab. Contractors only need to complete the applicable tab(s) for which they are seeking consideration. Contractors may submit pricing for multiple CLIN's but each contractor may only be awarded one CLIN. Pricing for all items within each applicable category must be proposed. If unable to submit a proposed price for any items, please immediately contact Maria Viscione at maria.viscione@gsa.gov for review and further instructions.

AutoPopulate Procedure All formal price-proposal tabs ("Toner", "Paper", and "General Office Products") are locked to prevent inadvertent changes from occurring. The fields are selectable and may be pasted into another spreadsheet or workbook to aid in the price-proposal development process. For convenience, an "AutoPopulate" tab has been created. If you've chosen to complete your proposal in another spreadsheet or workbook, you may Auto-Populate the "Toner", "Paper", and "General Office Products" tabs by pasting the data (Starting in cell B3 of the "AutoPopulate" tab). Once the data has been pasted, Press "Ctrl-q" to populate your proposal.
