The containers or items shall be placed in a suitable pattern to form a stable and balanced load. Vertical, horizontal or filler reinforcement shall be added as necessary to meet the stacking strength requirements. A palletized load shall be secured to the pallet by shrink or stretch wrapping, and/or, by steel or nonmetallic strapping.

Other commercial services shall not be used, but this does not preclude the Contractor from making delivery by the use of the Contractor's own vehicles.
(c)	Time of Delivery. Notwithstanding the required time for delivery to destination as may be specified elsewhere in this contract, if shipments under this clause are mailed not later than five (5) calendar days before the required delivery date, delivery shall be deemed to have been made timely.
F-FSS-260-A	TIME OF DELIVERY (FEB 1986)

Delivery is required to be made at destination within *30* calendar days after receipt of order. (NOTE: SEALED BIDS: A change in the number of days will make your bid nonresponsive and it will be rejected.)

F-FSS-300 SCHEDULING OF DELIVERIES TO GSA FACILITIES (FEB 2005)

(a) General: This clause sets forth the scheduling requirements regarding deliveries to the General Services Administration (GSA) facilities listed below. When the advance scheduling of delivery time is required or desired, the Contractor is advised that there may be an interval of up to 5 workdays between the time the consignee is contacted for a delivery date and the date the consignee is able to receive the shipment. Consequently, to allow for the establishment of a delivery date and the time that is agreeable to both the consignee and the carrier, the carrier should be urged to communicate with the consignee as soon as practicable after it is known when the shipment will be available for pickup. For all Distribution Center shipments and in the interest of effective and efficient deliveries, information such as National Stock Numbers (NSN), Delivery/Purchase Order numbers, quantity of cartons/pallets, and Uniform Product Codes are required when pre-scheduling deliveries. Deliveries are not accepted on weekends or Federal holidays (except when scheduled in advance during national emergencies). All times specified in this clause are local times.

(b) Eastern Distribution Center:

(1) Large-Load Shipments: For the purpose of this clause, a shipment consisting of ten or more palletized unit loads, or, if the supplies are not palletized, a shipment weighing 10,000 pounds or more, or measuring 500 cubic feet or more, when transported by a single conveyance, is regarded as a "large-load" shipment. The Contractor is required to notify the carrier on the bill of lading that a scheduled unloading date and time, during normal business hours, must be obtained by the consignee prior to the delivery of a "large-load" shipment.

(2) Small-Load Shipments: For the purpose of this clause, a shipment consisting of less than ten palletized unit loads, or if the supplies are not palletized, a shipment weighing less than 10,000 pounds and measuring less than 500 cubic feet, when transported by a single conveyance, is regarded as a "small-load" shipment. The delivery of a "small-load" shipment need not be scheduled in advance of arrival at the facility. However, the consignee may refuse to accept delivery if the truck arrives later in the afternoon than the time specified below for the receipt of unscheduled small loads. The carrier should and is encouraged to communicate with the GSA facility (consignee) regarding all impending deliveries.

(b) Western Distribution Center: Carrier appointments are required to facilitate GSA clearance of the arriving carriers through site Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) security. The Contractor is required to notify the carrier on the bill of lading that a scheduled unloading date and time must be obtained from the consignee prior to delivery.

I-FSS-110	MONTHLY SUPPLY POTENTIAL (JUN 1990)
(a)	The estimated requirements of the Government for the contract period and the estimated peak monthly requirements are shown in the schedule of items. Offerors are requested to indicate, in the spaces provided, the total quantity per month which they are willing to provide. This monthly supply potential may be used in order to preclude the placement of orders in excess of a Contractor's production capacity. Offerors are urged to group as many items or groups of items as possible in setting their monthly supply potential since the items or groups for which they may be eligible for award cannot be predetermined. Such grouping will make it possible to make the fullest use of the production capacity of each successful offeror. For example, if an offeror's production facilities can produce all of the items, or groups solicited, the offeror may insert a single overall limitation on the quantity that he can supply. Offerors are cautioned that in order to qualify for an award, their monthly supply potential must cover the Government's estimated peak monthly requirement for each item or group to be awarded. Groups or individual items will not be subdivided for award purposes.
(b)	If an offeror does not specify a monthly supply potential, they will be deemed to offer to furnish 125 percent of the Government's estimated peak monthly requirement for the item or group of items. The quantity determined shall then be considered as the offeror's monthly supply potential.

OFFEROR'S MONTHLY SUPPLY POTENTIAL

	ITEM OR GROUPS OF ITEMS	OFFEROR'S MONTHLY SUPPLY POTENTIAL
	____________________________________	_____________________________________________
	____________________________________	_____________________________________________
	____________________________________	_____________________________________________
(c)	For each offered item or group of offered items awarded pursuant to this solicitation, the Contractor shall be obligated to fill all orders for the items awarded (regardless of destination) received during any one calendar month after the effective date of the contract if the aggregate total quantity of such orders does not exceed either; (1) his stated monthly supply potential, or, (2) if no monthly supply potential is stated, 125 percent of the estimated peak monthly requirement.
(d)	The Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that part of the requirement exceeds the limitations in paragraph (a) and (b) above and may acquire the quantity that exceeds the MSP from another source.
(e)	Notwithstanding paragraphs (c) and (d) above, the Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the limitations in paragraphs (a) and (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within 5 days after receipt, with written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the ordered item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the ordering agency may acquire the supplies from another source without prejudice to either party.
(f)	Upon acceptance of orders for quantities in excess of the quantities specified in paragraph (b) above, the Contractor will be allowed __15__ additional days for delivery (for making the additional quantities) provided that the Contractor notifies the Contracting Officer with five (5) calendar days after receipt of order that additional delivery time is required for the quantity that exceeds the MSP. This notification shall include the contract number, NSN, purchase order number, date of receipt of purchase order, and the quantity which is in excess of the monthly quantities the Contractor is required to accept.

I-FSS-120-B	MINIMUM ORDER LIMITATION (APR 1984)
(a)	No ordering office will be obligated to order and no Contractor will be obligated to make any delivery amounting to less than one item, but such deliveries may be ordered by the Government subject to acceptance by the Contractor. Failure on the part of the Contractor to return the order by mailing or otherwise furnishing it to the ordering office within five working days after receipt shall constitute acceptance whereupon all other provisions of the contract shall apply to such order.
(b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, where either Government Standard Pack or Commercial Standard Pack (shipping container) is specified in the contract, orders shall be placed by the Government in shipping container quantity except as set forth in paragraph (c), below.
(c)	The Government may at its option place orders for less than a shipping container quantity, providing such quantity equals a unit, intermediate pack, or multiples thereof, up to a shipping container quantity. Such orders shall be packed in accordance with the applicable packaging and packing specification.
