The USDA is requesting that schedule contractors extend additional discounts to the USDA when making responses to this RFQ. GSA contract schedule holders are able to offer one-time discounts from established Schedule contracts. Schedule contractors can give one buying member a discount without passing the discount on to the entire federal government. In essence, this provision allows the contractor to offer and the government to avail itself of spot pricing in the commercial market. Due to the complexity of this we may not have funds available to support this project.
