M. There will be no minimum order amount under the BPA.

N. NSNs will be awarded with FOB Destination deliveries to CONUS locations; but many orders require packaging and labeling to facilitate deliveries beyond the CONUS locations.

O. Deliveries to civilian activities: Supplies shall be marked in accordance with Federal Standard 123, edition in effect on the date of issuance of the solicitation.

Deliveries to military activities: Supplies shall be marked in accordance with Military Standard 129, edition in effect on the date of issuance of the solicitation.

P. The BPA can be cancelled by either party with written notice.

Q. The awardee will be required to ship direct to APO/FPO addresses and to naval ships, when they receive orders that indicate this type of ship to addresses. This is a mandatory requirement.

R. Effective September 30, 2017, awardees will be required to accept orders utilizing only Electronic

Data Interchange (EDI) or Vendor Portal (VP). Facsimile transmitted orders will no longer be processed.

All orders issued after award will only be transmitted using either EDI or the OMS Vendor Portal. Failure to register using one of the aforementioned methods by the deadline set by the Contracting Office may cause the vendor’s award to be cancelled or terminated.

S. Placement of Orders upon Award:

GSA’s Order Management Service (OMS) will process orders utilizing only Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Vendor Portal (VP). Facsimile orders will no longer be an option.

• EDI provides for fully electronic processing of all ordering transactions

• Vendor Portal provides an internet portal for vendors to retrieve orders and manually input transactional data

EDI is the preferred business transaction processing method, but vendors with small order volumes and less technical proficiency may use VP for reasons of lower overall costs and/or higher implementation costs for EDI.

Vendors are hereby notified that as of January 26, 2017, all new awardees are required to select either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or OMS Vendor Portal (VP) to interface with GSA Global Supply on receiving orders resulting from their award. EDI is the preferred method of order transmission to our vendors but OMS Vendor Portal is an acceptable means of transmission.

Vendors are required to review the instructions regarding enrollment in either one of these systems and processes contained on pages 27 - 31 of this solicitation/RFQ.

Enrollment in either program is required upon award and must be requested no later than 5 days after receipt of award. Failure to enroll may cause your award to be cancelled or terminated.

For further instructions on how to enroll in either program please contact the following:

EDI: GSAEDI@gsa.gov or EDI Help Desk at 703-605-9444.

Vendor Portal: Gee.Jeon@gsa.gov or NCSC at 800-488-3111

T. If supplies shipped are not packaged, packed, and marked in accordance with contract requirements, the

Government has the right, without prior notice to the Contractor, to perform the required repackaging/repacking/remarking, by contract or otherwise, and charge the Contractor therefore at the following rates:

mailto:GSAEDI@gsa.gov mailto:Gee.Jeon@gsa.gov

47QSWB-18-A-3540-BPA – Hand Operated Strapping & Sealing Kits Page 4 of 31

First Hour - $150.00 Each Additional Hour - $70.00

A minimum of two hours is required for each incident, making the minimum charge for remarking $220.00

The Contractor may also be charged for material costs, if incurred. This right is not exclusive, and is in addition to other rights or remedies provided for in this contract. The rates above shall be determined and may be periodically updated by the Commissioner, Federal Acquisition Service, or a designee."

Signature Date

U. Award of these NSNs will be made in the aggregate. In order to be considered for award, vendors must submit quotes on all items. Failure to quote any item listed will cause your quote to be rejected in its entirety.
