Instructions to Offerors <br />The solicitation provision SCP-FSS-001 outlines the administrative, technical, and pricing elements that are <br />required as part of all offer submissions. <br />Begin Regulation <br />SCP-FSS-001 Instructions Applicable to All Offerors (Dec 2021) <br />(a) Read the entire solicitation document prior to preparing your offer. The Government <br />will consider award for a responsible offeror whose offer conforms to all solicitation <br />requirements, is determined technically acceptable and whose prices are determined fair <br />and reasonable. The Government reserves the right to award or reject without discussions. <br />Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the best terms from a price and <br />technical standpoint. <br />(b) Electronic submission of offers via GSA's coffer web -based at)plication is mandatory. <br />Offerors must use FAS ID Multi -Factor Authentication (MFA) to access eOffer. Offerors <br />should have at least two Authorized Negotiators who are "Authorized to Sign." While <br />offerors may use consultants, one Authorized Negotiator must be an employee of the <br />company. To obtain a FAS ID and enroll in the MFA process, please utilize the FAS ID <br />User Guide. Offerors are advised to review the Offer Documents Submission Checklist <br />posted on the MAS roadman site prior to submitting an offer. <br />(c) Offers must be current, accurate, and complete, and demonstrate a thorough <br />understanding of solicitation requirements. By submission of an offer: <br />(1) The offeror attests that there have been no exceptions taken to the terms and <br />conditions of this solicitation unless explicitly identified in eOffer (see <br />"Exceptions to Terms and Conditions" under the Standard Response module) <br />(2) The offeror attests that it understands and agrees to comply with the <br />requirements of all clauses and provisions. Failure to comply with applicable <br />clauses and provisions will result in rejection of the offer. Offerors are <br />responsible for ensuring that their offers meet ALL solicitation requirements and <br />should not assume that deficient items will be clarified prior to the offer being <br />rejected. <br />(3) The offeror attests that it understands and agrees to comply with the <br />requirements of clause 552.238-80 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting <br />OR clause 552.238-80 Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting (Alternate I) <br />if participating in Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) (see paragraph (g) below <br />for more information on TDR). <br />(d) If the offeror was previously awarded a Schedule contract that was cancelled or <br />allowed to expire due to low or no sales, a new offer for the same Schedule will not be <br />considered unless a minimum of 12 months have passed since the effective date of the <br />cancellation or expiration date of the previous contract. Any offer submitted prior to the <br />completion of this 12-month period will be rejected. <br />(e) Existing Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program contractors can submit streamlined <br />offers as annotated in this provision provided that the contractor meets ALL of the <br />following criteria: <br />(1) The contractor has an active FSS program contract under this Schedule and is <br />submitting a new offer for the same Special Item Numbers (SINs). <br />(2) Sales under the existing contract have averaged a minimum of $25,000 per <br />year for the previous five years of reported sales. <br />(3) There is a demonstrated pattern of satisfactory past performance under the <br />existing contract. <br />(f) A current FSS contractor can submit an offer for a new contract under this Schedule at <br />any time during the existing contract's period of performance. Typically, the award of a <br />new contract will result in the cancellation of the existing contract upon award. However, <br />if the contractor has one or more active Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) or orders <br />under its existing contract; or has submitted quotes for either and is awaiting an award <br />decision), it is eligible for the award of a new contract that is allowed to overlap and run <br />alongside the existing one. This is referred to as holding continuous contracts. <br />Page: 2 of 141 <br />
