Note: When a VA National Contract is awarded, items that are the same or similar and appear on the FSS may be unavailable from the FSS for those ordering activities that are mandatory users of the awarded National Contract. Government agencies that participate in a national committed use contract are required to purchase the products awarded on the national contract from the national contractor. Although Government agencies participating in the national contract would not be permitted to purchase the same or similar items from FSS contracts without a waiver issued by the ordering activity, any FSS contractor may maintain these items on its FSS contract for sale to all other authorized users of the schedule.

SCOPE OF SOLICITATION

The Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program is also known as the GSA Schedules Program or the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program. The FSS program is directed and managed by GSA and provides Federal agencies with a simplified process for obtaining commercial supplies and services at prices associated with volume buying. Indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity contracts are awarded to provide supplies and services at stated prices for given periods of time. GSA has delegated authority to the VA to manage the Schedules for medical supplies under the VA FSS program.

This solicitation is issued to establish contracts which may be used on a nonmandatory basis by eligible users, as a source of supply for the supplies or services described herein, for domestic and/or overseas delivery. Ata a minimum, contract holders are required to deliver their products within the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories. Domestic delivery also includes a port or consolidation point, within the aforementioned areas, for orders received from overseas activities. Offerors who cannot provide the required geographic coverage will not be considered for award. This solicitation further requires that offered prices cover delivery to destinations (i.e. F.O.B. destination) located within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. Offerors can choose whether or not prices cover delivery f.o.b. destination to Alaska, Hawaii, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Additionally, the solicitation defines the number of calendar days after receipt of order (ARO) within which delivery must be made.

FSS solicitations set forth broad categories of accepted products/services, referred to as Special Item Numbers (SINs), listed in the Continuation of SF1449 in Vendor Response Document 02. Offerors are not required to submit their entire catalog of products/services but are free to choose which items they will offer as long as those items fall within one of the solicitation’s pre-defined SIN categories. Items that do not fall within one of these SINs are considered to be outside of the scope of the solicitation and cannot be awarded. An item’s acceptability under the schedule may be further restricted by the Trade Agreements Act, limitations on certain types of commercial items, FDA regulations, and a determination of fair and reasonable pricing.

New Items vs. Refurbished or “Grey Market Goods” This solicitation is for the award of new items only. The Contractor shall provide only new equipment and new parts for the required products described herein. Absolutely no “grey market goods” or refurbished products shall be provided under any delivery order. Grey market goods are defined as genuine branded goods sold outside of an authorized sales-territory (or by non-authorized dealers in an authorized territory) at prices lower than being charged in authorized sales territories (or by authorized dealers). All equipment must be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Trade Agreements Act The Trade Agreements Act is applicable to all Schedules. Under the terms of this act ONLY US-made or designated country end products shall be awarded to responsible VA FSS contractors. It is the offeror’s responsibility to verify that all offered products are from the US or a designated country listed at FAR 52.225-5. When an item consists of components from various countries and the components are assembled in an additional country, the test to determine country of origin is “substantial transformation” (see FAR 25.001(c)(2)). Offerors requiring a determination on substantial transformation can go to the US Customs and Border Protection Office of Regulations and Rulings.

Commercial Items - Limitations Per GSA regulations at 538.271(a), MAS awards are for commercial items as defined in FAR 2.101. Certain types of “custom” items fall under this definition as modified commercial items. For example, FSS accepts configurable items, such as configurable wheelchairs, and custom count items, such as pharmaceutical tablets packaged in quantities specifically for the Government. FSS, however, has made a business decision not to award contracts for the following:

· Custom Packs

· Non-Configurable Custom Products Made to Individual Specifications, including, but not limited to, such items as custom orthotics, custom dental products, and prescription eyeglasses.

FDA Regulatory Requirements Offerors of products classified as medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shall be in compliance with the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated there under (codified in 21 CFR Parts 800-1299). Offerors of medical devices not in compliance with these regulations shall not be considered for award under this solicitation.

Notice of Additional Requirements - Ordering Level In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in this solicitation, the contractor may, in the performance of orders issued under this contract, be responsible for further requirements at the ordering level. For more information on these potential, additional requirements, please see the note in Solicitation Document 01 after FAR clause 52.216-18 Ordering.

Please note that the VA does not promote the use of any company’s specific Schedule contract. Vendors should be aware that obtaining a VA Schedule contract is not a guarantee of sales. Vendors awarded a VA Schedule contract will need to market their supplies and services to Government customers as they would to commercial customers. A listing of eligible schedule users can be found at on GSA’s website at http://gsa.federalschedules.com/resources/eligible-gsa-schedule-users/.

B-FSS-96 ESTIMATED SALES (NOV 1997)

Note: Estimated sales figures for each SIN are based on annual total sales for domestic and overseas under the FSS program and thus reflect sales to multiple vendors under each SIN.

The "Estimated Sales" column of the Schedule of Items shows (1) a twelve-month reading of purchases in dollars or purchases in units as reported by the previous Contractor(s), or (2) estimates of the anticipated dollar volume where the item is new. The absence of a figure indicates that neither reports of previous purchases nor estimates of sales are available.

(d) If the Contractor has an existing Multiple Award Schedule contract, the Government may, at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer, modify the existing contract to include the INSP/SIN item in accordance with 552.238-81, Modification (Multiple Award Schedule).

BUSINESS SIZE DETERMINATION & NAICS CODE DESIGNATION (AUG 2017)

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has established numerical definitions, or “size standards,” for all for-profit industries based upon NAICS codes. Size standards represent the largest size that a business (including its subsidiaries and affiliates, both foreign and domestic) may be in order to be classified as a small business concern.

The NAICS codes that have been identified as being applicable to this solicitation are listed below along with their corresponding size standards (effective as of 2/26/2016). Due to regulatory restrictions, wholesaler NAICS codes are not used for Government procurement purposes. For the procurement of supplies, only manufacturer NAICS codes are used. This does not preclude a dealer or distributor from submitting a proposal under the solicitation. If you are a nonmanufacturer (e.g. wholesalers, dealers, distributors, and resellers), then the applicable size standard is 500 employees as specified in FAR 52.212-1(a).

A business may qualify as a small business under some NAICS codes and as an “other than small” business under other NAICS codes. However, in order to be recognized as a small business at the base FSS contract level, you must qualify as a small business under each NAICS code representing your product/service offerings. You may be required to represent your size status at the delivery or task order level based upon the NAICS code(s) applying to the items/service specific to that order. For the purposes of this solicitation proposal, please complete the following two designation sections.

Select the NAICS code(s) representing each category of your product offerings, and select from the dropdown menu if you are a manufacturer, non-manufacturer, or both for applicable NAICS code(s).

|_| 325992 Photographic Film, Paper, Plate, and Chemical Manufactng / 1,500 employees |_| 334517 Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing / 1,000 employees Select the primary NAICS code which represents the greatest percentage of line items for your offered product(s).
