SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES:
Small Business Participation
SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal
Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows
agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders
expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments
against these goals.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to
consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider
reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!ä
on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage!ä and the Federal Supply Service Home Page
(www.fss.gsa.gov) contain
information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.
This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or
exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in
including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those
considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to
small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy
their requirement.

USE OF FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SCHEDULE CONTRACTS. In
accordance with FAR 8.404:
Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), using the procedures in FAR
8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when
placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek further
competition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and
reasonable pricing, or consider small business set-asides in accordance with subpart 19.5.
GSA has already determined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and
reasonable. By placing an order against a schedule using the procedures outlined below,
the ordering office has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in
the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative
costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.
a. Orders placed at or below the micro-purchase threshold. Ordering offices can
place orders at or below the micro-purchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule
Contractor.
b. Orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the
maximum order threshold. Orders should be placed with the Schedule Contractor that can
provide the supply or service that represents the best value. Before placing an order,
ordering offices should consider reasonably available information about the supply or
service offered under MAS contracts by using the "GSA Advantage!" on-line
shopping service, or by reviewing the catalogs/pricelists of at least three Schedule
Contractors and selecting the delivery and other options available under the schedule that
meets the agency’s needs. In selecting the supply or service representing the best
value, the ordering office may consider--
(1) Special features of the supply or service that are required in effective program
performance and that are not provided by a comparable supply or service;
(2) Trade-in considerations;
(3) Probable life of the item selected as compared with that of a comparable item;
(4) Warranty considerations;
(5) Maintenance availability;
(6) Past performance; and
(7) Environmental and energy efficiency considerations.
c. Orders exceeding the maximum order threshold. Each schedule contract has an
established maximum order threshold. This threshold represents the point where it is
advantageous for the ordering office to seek a price reduction. In addition to following
the procedures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum
order threshold, ordering offices shall--
(1) Review additional Schedule Contractors’ catalogs/pricelists or use the "GSA Advantage!" on-line shopping service;
(2) Based upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price reductions from the
Schedule Contractor(s) appearing to provide the best value (considering price and other
factors); and
(3) After price reductions have been sought, place the order with the Schedule
Contractor that provides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost
alternative. If further price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if
the ordering office determines that it is appropriate.
NOTE: For orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the Contractor may:
(1) Offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price Reductions clause is not
applicable to orders placed over the maximum order in FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations);
(2) Offer the lowest price available under the contract; or
(3) Decline the order (orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216-19).
d. Blanket purchase agreements (BPAs). The establishment of Federal Supply
Schedule BPAs is permitted when following the ordering procedures in FAR 8.404. All
schedule contracts contain BPA provisions. Ordering offices may use BPAs to establish
accounts with Contractors to fill recurring requirements. BPAs should address the
frequency of ordering and invoicing, discounts, and delivery locations and times.
e. Price reductions. In addition to the circumstances outlined in paragraph c,
above, there may be instances when ordering offices will find it advantageous to request a
price reduction. For example, when the ordering office finds a schedule supply or service
elsewhere at a lower price or when a BPA is being established to fill recurring
requirements, requesting a price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of
orders under these agreements, regardless of the size of the individual order, may offer
the ordering office the opportunity to secure greater discounts. Schedule Contractors are
not required to pass on to all schedule users a price reduction extended only to an
individual agency for a specific order.
f. Small business. For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold,
ordering offices should give preference to the items of small business concerns when
two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy the requirement.
g. Documentation. Orders should be documented, at a minimum, by identifying the Contractor the item was purchased from, the item purchased, and the amount paid. If an
agency requirement in excess of the micro-purchase threshold is defined so as to require a
particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer,
thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company, the
ordering office shall include an explanation in the file as to why the particular brand
name, product, or feature is essential to satisfy the agency’s needs.
-
FEDERAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY/TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS:
Federal departments and agencies acquiring products from this Schedule must comply with
the provisions of the Federal Standards Program, as appropriate (reference: NIST Federal

ordering activities may incorporate, in their delivery order(s), a security clause in
accordance with current laws, regulations, and individual agency policy; however, the
burden of administering the security requirements shall be with the ordering agency. If
any costs are incurred as a result of the inclusion of security requirements, such costs
will be negotiated with the Schedule Contractor on an open market basis, outside the scope
of the contract.

-
YEAR 2000 WARRANTY – COMMERCIAL SUPPLY ITEMS:
(a) As used in this clause, "Year 2000 compliant" means, with respect to
information technology, that the information technology accurately processes date/time
data (including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing and sequencing) from, into and
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, and leap
year calculations, to the extent that other information technology used in combination
with the information technology being acquired, properly exchanges date/time data with it.
(b) The Contractor shall warrant that each hardware, software, and firmware product
delivered under this contract shall be able to accurately process date time data
(including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into, and
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including leap year calculations, when
used in accordance with the product documentation provided by the Contractor, provided
that all products (e.g. hardware, software, firmware) used in combination with products
properly exchange date time data with it. If the contract requires that specific listed
products must perform as a system in accordance with the foregoing warranty, then that
warranty shall apply to those products as a system. The duration of this warranty and the
remedies available under this warranty shall include repair ore replacement of any product
whose non-compliance is discovered and made known to the Contractor in writing within
ninety (90) days after acceptance (installation is considered acceptance). The Contractor
may offer an extended warranty to the Government to include repair or replacement of any
product whose non-compliance is discovered and made known to the Contractor in writing at
any time prior to June 1, 2000, or for a period of six (6) months following acceptance
(installation is considered acceptance) whichever is later. Nothing in this warranty shall
be construed to limit any rights or remedies the Government may otherwise have under this
contract with respect to defects other than Year 2000 performance.
-
BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
(BPAs)
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.201(a) defines Blanket Purchase Agreements
(BPAs) as "…a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for
supplies or services by establishing ‘charge accounts’ with qualified sources of
supply." The use of Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Federal Supply
Schedule Program is authorized in accordance with FAR 13.202(c)(3), which reads, in part,
as follows:
"BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule Contractors, if not
inconsistent with the errs of the applicable schedule contract."
Federal Supply Schedule contracts contain BPA provisions to enable schedule users to
maximize their administrative and purchasing savings. This feature permits schedule users
to set up "accounts" with Schedule Contractors to fill recurring requirements.
These accounts establish a period for the BPA and generally address issues such as the
frequency of ordering and invoicing, authorized callers, discounts, delivery locations and
times. Agencies may qualify for the best quantity/volume discounts available under the
contract, based on the potential volume of business that may be generated through such an
agreement, regardless of the size of the individual orders. In addition, agencies may be
able to secure a discount higher than that available in the contract based on the
aggregate volume of business possible under a BPA. Finally, Contractors may be open to a
progressive type of discounting where the discount would increase once the sales
accumulated under the BPA reach certain prescribed levels. Use of a BPA may be
particularly useful with the new Maximum Order feature. See the Suggested Format,
contained in this Schedule Pricelist, for customers to consider when using this purchasing
tool.
-
CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS
Federal Supply Schedule Contractors may use "Contractor Team Arrangements"
(see FAR 9.6) to provide solutions when responding to a customer agency requirements. The
policy and procedures outlined in this part will provide more flexibility and allow
innovative acquisition methods when using the Federal Supply Schedules. See the additional
information regarding Contractor Team Arrangements in this Schedule Pricelist.
