4.  SUBMISSION CONTENT AND FORMAT OF PROPOSALS

a.       ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS (Volume 1) - Failure of an offeror to address any item listed may make the proposal unacceptable and may result in its not being considered for award.... 

•           VETS-4212 REPORT (Item 4)

The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS or the Agency) revised the regulations implementing the reporting requirements under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended (VEVRAA). Generally, VEVRAA requires Federal contractors and subcontractors to annually report on the total number of their employees who belong to the categories of veterans protected under VEVRAA, and the total number of those protected veterans who were hired during the period covered by the report. This revises the regulations that prescribe the reporting requirements applicable to Government contracts and subcontracts of $100,000 or more entered into or modified after December 1, 2003, by changing the manner in which Federal contractors report on their employment of veterans, renaming the annual report required under those regulations the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report VETS-4212. Further, the revised regulations address the definitions of terms used in the regulations, the text of the reporting requirements clause included in Government contracts and subcontracts, and the methods of filing the annual report on veterans' employment.  Contractors and subcontractors will have to comply with the reporting requirements beginning with the annual report filed in 2015 as provided through the following website: http://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212.htm.  

The filing season for the VETS-4212 has started on August 1, 2015 and ends on September 30, 2015.

The offeror shall submit proof of completion of a VETS-4212 Report.  

Added: Aug 17, 2015 3:38 pm Those currently submitting data in AutoStandards must understand that only one award per SIN can be made per vendor and that GSA requires both make and model for each submission under each SIN. The offeror must determine the best use of its resources in submitting multiple offers under any one SIN, with the understanding that of multiple offers under any SIN can at best lead to an award of only one make/model of the choices offered to GSA.

The Closing Date for the AutoStandards participation is August 24, 2015; The General Services Administration's Automotive Acquisition Support Center invites firms interested in submitting offers under the Government's upcoming 2016 model year solicitation for buses (School, Shuttle, Adult Work, Inter City Commuter Coach, and Over the Road Touring Coach) to participate in the 2016 Federal Bus Standards 833K process.
