E-MAIL: Marcelles Barr, marcelles.barr@gsa.gov. 7105/7110 -- Package Room Furniture Program, solicitation 3FNH-A3-000001-B covering the Dormitory and Quarters, Office and Healthcare furniture is updated and replaces the previous solicitation 3FNH-95-A039-N and will incorporate the following clauses: I-FSS-163 Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Evergreen): This clause will allow the government to have three (3) five (5) year options to your contract, for a total of twenty years if performance is satisfactory. There will be many measures of satisfactory performance, such as adequate sales, quality performance, and timely IFF payments, so the options are in no way guaranteed. One of the most important evaluative factors will be participation in the GSA Advantage!_ program. None of the Evergreen options will be exercised unless your firm has posted its contract information to the GSA Advantage!_ website. I-FSS-60 Performance Incentives: This clause allows the agencies to negotiate performance incentive payments into their orders when using a performance based statement of work, and delivery or services are deemed critical to the agency's mission, or when unusual circumstances requiring difficulties in performance arise. G-FSS-920 Ordering Procedures For Services (Requiring A Statement Of Work): This clause provides ordering procedures for services (such as installation, etc.) when a Statement of Work is used to describe the customer's needs. These clauses are intended to increase the teamwork that has led to greater customer satisfaction and use of the Federal Supply Schedules. There are mutual benefits to both clauses for both the contractor and the government, and it is expected to increase revenues to those contractors who earn the right to be around for the entire twenty-year period. This solicitation will issue on or about July 11, 2000 and continuously open. Current vendors will be contacted via separate notification regarding this solicitation. For new Offers, request for a copy of the solicitation should be directed to: Darlene Walsh or Barbara Douglas, GSA-FSS, National Furniture Center,3FNHA-CO, CM Bldg.4, Room 403, Washington, D.C. 20406.
