"Or equals" cannot be accepted for this acquisition; please submit your quote for only the items specified. 2. Please quote all items as F.O.B. Destination 3. This acquisition is being conducted under the procedures described at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.404 for a GSA acquisition, FAR 16.505 for a GWAC acquisition, or FAR 12 and 13 for an open market acquisition. 4. At this time we are asking offerors to submit pricing on the items described above, per the terms of your GSA contract, or other GWAC contract. For this acquisition we are also accepting open market pricing, if your business is classified as a Small Business, or Small Disadvantaged Business. NOTE: If you are classified as a Large Business, we cannot accept open market pricing from you." 5. Special price discounts from your GSA or GWAC contract are certainly encouraged. 6. In accordance with FAR Subpart 39.106, Year 2000 compliance, the items to be acquired as a result of this RFQ must be Year 2000 compliant. It is anticipated that the items will be required to perform date/time processing involving dates subsequent to December 31, 1999. 7. Have you registered in the Contractor Central Registration (CCR) database yet? If not, please ensure that your firm is registered. If you are not registered, you are not eligible for further acquisitions. Please contact the buyer if you require further information. 8. We at MacDill 6 Contracting SQ/LGCb are becoming more experienced with utilizing the numerous federal contractual vehicles which are available for the products and services we buy. GSA schedules are recommended to us by the Department of Defense (DoD). While we still invite GSA offers, we realize that there are many other contractual vehicles (GWAC?s) which may offer advantages over GSA, and we would like to be aware of these alternatives as well. 9. Some GWAC?s are easier for us to use than others. Therefore, we must take into consideration the administrative burden involved with placing a delivery order against any given GWAC or GSA contract. Generally, DoD GWAC?s are easier to use than non-DoD GWAC?s, because of application of the Economy Act. Whenever we wish to place an order against a non-DoD contract (with the exception of GSA), the Economy Act requires us to perform a somewhat lengthy and time consuming process of research, evaluation, and high level briefing and approval before the purchase can be made. This law therefore stands as an impediment to our ability to take advantage of many GWAC?s. However, if a non-DoD GWAC offers significant advantages, we will use it if it is in our best interest. Some GWAC?s, including many within DoD, do not let us place a direct delivery order, but rather require the transference of funds (MIPR) to the cognizant contracting office. This can be an administrative burden as well, and must be considered in the award decision. 10. We encourage you to offer us several different alternatives for this acquisition, if you desire. Also, if you have any helpful suggestions as to how we may improve this internet-based RFQ method, please let us know. Thank you very much for your participation!
