**Instructions to Offerors---Submission of Offers**

**Under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Express Program**

The Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA) made a
commitment to industry that GSA would award Multiple Award Schedule
(MAS) contracts within 30 days. In order to comply with the
Administrator\'s directive, GSA has implemented the \"Multiple Award
Schedule (MAS) Express Program.\" The primary goal of the MAS Express
Program is to simplify and streamline the process for new Offerors to
obtain MAS contracts.

Under the MAS Program, GSA establishes long-term Governmentwide
indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with
responsible commercial firms to provide customers with access to a wide
variety of supplies (products) and services.

Participation in the MAS Express Program is open to all business
concerns, regardless of size. At the present time, offers accepted under
the MAS Express Program are **limited to a total of 500 products/labor
categories under** **the following Multiple Award Schedule Special Item
Numbers (SINs)**:

+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+

Through the use of a centralized Schedule Program Express Evaluation
Desk (SPEED Desk), GSA intends to standardize and expedite the initial
review and qualification of offers. Upon completion of its initial
review and qualification of an offer, the SPEED Desk will immediately
notify the Offeror as to whether the offer meets the minimum criteria
for consideration under the MAS Express Program and, if not, the options
available to the Offeror. By expediting this turnaround time for the
initial review and qualification of an offer, as well as providing the
Offeror with rapid feedback, the overall time required to review,
evaluate, negotiate (if necessary), and award an MAS contract should be
greatly reduced.

Offerors are advised that meeting the minimum criteria for the MAS
Express Program does [not]{.underline} guarantee the award of an MAS
contract. Although the criteria identified in these Instructions to
Offerors supersede any ***corresponding*** requirements in individual
solicitations, offers that qualify for the MAS Express Program must
still meet all ***additional*** criteria identified in the applicable
Schedule solicitation.

**Offer Submission Options**

***IMPORTANT:*** While all offers may be submitted in paper format, GSA
is in the process of implementing the electronic submission of offers
using Express eOffer. See the \"Electronic Submission\" instructions,
below, for information regarding Express eOffer. At the present time,
offers accepted under the\
MAS Express Program via Express eOffer are limited to the specific
Schedules and associated SINs identified on the eOffer website at
[http://eoffer.gsa.gov](http://eoffer.gsa.gov/). Offerors are advised
that each offer may be submitted in *only one format*. Offers submitted
in both electronic and in paper formats will [not]{.underline} be
considered.

-   ***Electronic Submission:*** For those Schedules accepting
    electronic submissions, offers may be submitted using [Express
    eOffer](http://eoffer.gsa.gov/), a web based application that allows
    Offerors to prepare and submit their offers under the MAS Express
    Program electronically. Access to Express eOffer is available at
    [http://eoffer.gsa.gov](http://eoffer.gsa.gov/), by clicking on the
    \"Sign In\" box under **Express Offers (eOffers)**. GSA highly
    encourages the use of Express eOffer to further expedite the review
    process.

> ***Note:*** Offerors are advised that \"Express\" eOffer is
> [different]{.underline} from eOffer; Express eOffer allows electronic
> submission of offers *under the MAS Express Program*, while eOffer
> simply allows electronic submission of offers for *standard offer
> processing.* Offerors should ensure that the **Express Offers
> (eOffers)** block is selected.
>
> ***IMPORTANT:*** Offerors are advised that when using Express eOffer,
> once the offer is submitted electronically, the offer is \"locked\" in
> the system until GSA completes its review. The only information that
> may be changed prior to the completion of the review is the company
> point of contact and/or authorized negotiator. Offers submitted
> electronically may be withdrawn at any time prior to contract award.
>
> Offerors using Express eOffer must comply with all the requirements of
> the MAS Express Program identified below, with the following
> exceptions:

-   The requirement for two copies applies to paper offers only and does
    **[not]{.underline}** apply to Express eOffers.

-   The requirement for submission of the Vendor Checklist
    (Attachment 1) does **[not]{.underline}** apply to Express eOffers.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   ***Paper Submission:*** Offerors **[must]{.underline}** submit an
    original and one copy of their entire offers, as well as two copies
    of the completed **Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Express Program
    Vendor Checklist (Attachment 1)**. The Checklist should clearly---

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Indicate \"Yes,\" \"No,\" or \"N/A\" (not applicable) responses for
    all items and, where requested, the location of an item in the
    offer;

-   Identify all offered SINs;

-   Affirm that the Offeror takes no exceptions to the terms and
    conditions of the solicitation; and

-   Indicate that the Offeror has addressed all of the applicable
    evaluation criteria in the Vendor Checklist in the affirmative, with
    the exception of the current ratio and the approved subcontracting
    plan, which require no response.

> The Vendor Checklist will be used by the SPEED Desk to complete its
> initial review and qualification of all offers submitted under the MAS
> Express Program.

**Basic Requirement---Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)**

The [Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)](http://www.epls.gov/) is a
central registry that contains information regarding entities debarred,
suspended, proposed for debarment, excluded, or otherwise declared
ineligible from receiving Federal contracts. Access to the EPLS is
available at [http://www.epls.gov](http://www.epls.gov/). An Offeror or
any individuals identified in the solicitation that appear in EPLS are
**[not]{.underline}** eligible for award of an MAS contract.

**Core Criteria**

The \"Core Criteria\" for the MAS Express Program are identified below:

-   The Offeror has been in business for at least two years.

-   The Offeror has a minimum of \$100,000 in sales (cumulative sales
    primarily or entirely commercial) during the last two years.

> *[Submission with Offer:]{.underline}* The Offeror should submit
> sufficient documentation to support an affirmative response that it
> has a minimum of \$100,000 in sales (cumulative sales primarily or
> entirely commercial) during the preceding two years. Such
> documentation may include, but is not limited to, financial statements
> and invoices.

-   The Offeror has a minimum current ratio of 1.5 for offers submitted
    under all participating Schedules and SINs.

> The minimum current ratio is based upon the Offeror\'s most current
> year\'s financial statement (income and balance sheets) and is
> calculated by dividing the Offeror\'s current assets by its current
> liabilities.

-   The Offeror has positive and/or neutral ratings on [all]{.underline}
    elements on its Open Ratings Past Performance Evaluation Report.

> Under an Open Ratings Past Performance Evaluation, Open Ratings, a Dun
> & Bradstreet (D&B) Company, conducts an independent audit of customer
> references and calculates a rating based upon a statistical analysis
> of various performance data and survey responses. While some
> solicitations do contain the form to request an Open Ratings Past
> Performance Evaluation, the Offeror may request the evaluation
> directly from Open Ratings by placing an order online at
> [www.ppereports.com](http://www.ppereports.com/).
>
> *[Submission with Offer:]{.underline}* The Offeror must submit two
> copies of its application for an Open Ratings Past Performance
> Evaluation, along with two *color* copies of the Open Ratings Past
> Performance Evaluation Report. Open Ratings requests that customers
> provide 20 references in order to ensure that sufficient responses are
> received to successfully generate a report. Under the\
> MAS Express Program, the Offer must submit a sufficient number of
> references in its application *to ensure that Open Ratings receives
> responses from at least four references.* The Open Ratings Past
> Performance Evaluation Report is valid for one year from the date of
> issuance.

In order to be considered for the MAS Express Program, the Offeror must
meet **[all]{.underline}** core criteria. If one or more of the core
criteria are not met, the offer will [not]{.underline} meet the minimum
criteria for the MAS Express Program. The SPEED Desk will then reject
the offer and return it to the Offeror, with an explanation as to the
deficient core criteria. Such action does not preclude the Offeror from
submitting its offer to the applicable Acquisition Center/Office for
s*tandard offer processing*. In order to facilitate any subsequent
submission for *standard offer processing*, the SPEED Desk will also
identify any deficiencies noted in the secondary criteria, so that the
Offeror can address those deficiencies prior to submission to the
appropriate Acquisition Center/Office.

**Secondary Criteria**

The \"Secondary Criteria\" for the MAS Express Program are identified
below:

-   The Offeror has registered in the [Central Contractor Registration
    (CCR)](http://www.ccr.gov/) database, and the CCR registration is
    up-to-date. The CCR collects, validates, stores, and disseminates
    data in support of agency acquisition missions. The Offeror must be
    registered in the CCR prior to the award of a Schedule contract.
    Access to the CCR is available at
    [http://www.ccr.gov](http://www.ccr.gov/).

> *Note:* In order to register in the CCR database, the Offeror must
> have a [Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
> Number](http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform). The DUNS Number is a unique
> nine character identification number provided by Dun & Bradstreet. The
> DUNS website at <http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform> contains information
> for the Offeror to obtain a DUNS Number by telephone or via the
> Internet.

-   The Offeror has completed the [Online Representations and
    Certifications Application (ORCA)](https://orca.bpn.gov/) in its
    entirety. ORCA was developed as an Integrated Acquisition
    Environment (IAE) E-Government initiative designed to reduce the
    administrative burden on Offerors to submit the same paper-based
    representations and certifications repeatedly for various
    solicitations. As of\
    January 1, 2005, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.12 requires
    prospective contractors\
    to complete electronic annual representations and certifications via
    the ORCA website at [https://orca.bpn.gov](https://orca.bpn.gov/),
    and to update the representations and certifications as necessary,
    but at least annually to ensure they are kept current, accurate, and
    complete.

-   The Offeror has **only** offered Special Item Numbers (SINs) that
    have been approved for the\
    MAS Express Program---see preceding table. For paper submission of
    offers, the offered SINs are identified in the Vendor Checklist.

-   The Offeror has completed the \"Pathway to Success\" education
    seminar, by attending either a \"live\" presentation or completing
    the web based presentation posted on the [Vendor Support Center
    (VSC)](http://vsc.gsa.gov/) under the \"Vendor Training\" tab.
    Access to the VSC is available at
    [http://vsc.gsa.gov](http://vsc.gsa.gov/). Pathway to Success is
    designed to assist prospective MAS contractors in making an informed
    decision as to whether obtaining an MAS contract is right for them.
    The presentation provides background information on the MAS Program,
    as well as GSA\'s expectations for an Offeror to become a successful
    MAS contractor, and information regarding how to compete and succeed
    in the Government marketplace. Other topics of discussion include
    how to develop an MAS-specific business plan, and how to submit a
    quality offer.

> *[Submission with Offer:]{.underline}* At the completion of the
> Pathway to Success education seminar, the Offeror will receive a
> certificate. Two copies of the certificate [must]{.underline} be
> submitted with the offer. The Pathway to Success Certificate is valid
> for one year from completion of the education seminar; i.e., the
> Offeror must submit its offer within the one-year period during which
> the certificate is valid. If the offer is not submitted during this
> one-year period, the Offeror must complete a new Pathway to Success
> education seminar in order to be eligible to participate under the MAS
> Express Program. The employee who completed Pathway to Success must
> still be employed by the Offeror at the time of offer submission.

-   The Offeror has submitted two copies of a signed, completed Standard

    -   The Offeror has submitted two copies of its completed Commercial
        Sales Practices Format (CSP).

> The instructions for submission of the Commercial Sales Practices
> Format, along with the actual document, are included in the
> solicitation. *The Offeror is strongly advised to thoroughly review
> the Commercial Sales Practices Format and corresponding instructions
> in the applicable solicitation, in order to fully respond to all
> solicitation requirements*. Further information regarding the
> submission of discounts, concessions, and pricing policies is

-   The Offeror has proposed items that are within the scope of the
    identified Schedule Special Item Numbers (SINs).

    Suppliers may, at their discretion, include additional language in
    their Letters of Supply, *provided that* such language does
    [not]{.underline} contradict any statement in the template.

-   The Offeror has proposed equal to or better than most favored
    customer pricing.

-   The Offeror has taken **no exceptions** to the terms and conditions
    of the solicitation.

> In addition to checking the appropriate box, the Offeror is required

> business concern.

-   The Offeror has inserted the company name and initialed the
    statement confirming that the Offeror has addressed all of the
    applicable evaluation criteria indicated on the Vendor Checklist in

    and approval of a subcontracting plan. *(Not Applicable to Express
    eOffer.)*

-   The Offeror has submitted complete technical and price proposals (if
    applicable) that include all elements required by the solicitation.

As noted above, if [all]{.underline} of the core criteria are met, the
Offeror meets the basic eligibility criteria for consideration under the
MAS Express Program. If, however, one or more of the secondary criteria
are deficient, the SPEED Desk will reject the offer and return it to the
Offeror, with an explanation as to the deficient secondary criteria.

(TAA) (19 U.S.C. 2501, *et seq*.) As such, all products supplied by
\[Supplier Name\] to \[Offeror Name\] will be TAA compliant. You will be

Sincerely,

\[*Signed by a company official authorized to make the commitment*\]

*\*The above is a mandatory template and will constitute the first page

sufficient, Suppliers may attach additional verbiage in subsequent pages
as long as the verbiage does not contradict the statements made above.*

*\*Please note that \"Supplier\" name is synonymous with
\"Manufacturer\" and/or \"Distributor.\"*

**Attachment 3: GSA SUBCONTRACTING GOALS**\
(How to do the math calculations)

-   Goals must be stated in both [dollars (\$)]{.underline} and
    [percentages (%)]{.underline}.

-   The contractor must state the estimated total subcontracting dollars
    planned to be subcontracted to all types of business concerns, then
    state [separately]{.underline} the total dollars that will be
    subcontracted to each category (large business, small business,
    HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB),
    women-owned small business (WOSB), veteran-owned small business
    (VOSB), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB)
    concerns).

-   The Small business dollar amount must include all subgroup category
    amounts; i.e., HUBZone, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB (plus any \"other
    small\" businesses that do not fall within one of these specified
    subgroups).
