8.402 General.


8.402 GENERAL.

      (a) The Federal Supply Schedule program is also known as the GSA Schedules
Program or the Multiple Award Schedule Program. The Federal Supply Schedule
program is directed and managed by GSA and provides Federal agencies (see 8.004)
with a simplified process for obtaining commercial supplies and commercial
services at prices associated with volume buying. Indefinite delivery contracts
are awarded to provide supplies and services at stated prices for given periods
of time. GSA may delegate certain responsibilities to other agencies (e.g., GSA
has delegated authority to the VA to procure medical supplies under the VA
Federal Supply Schedules program). Orders issued under the VA Federal Supply
Schedule program are covered by this subpart. Additionally, the Department of
Defense (DoD) manages similar systems of schedule-type contracting for military
items; however, DoD systems are not covered by this subpart.

      (b) GSA schedule contracts require all schedule contractors to publish an
"Authorized Federal Supply Schedule Pricelist" (pricelist). The pricelist
contains all supplies and services offered by a schedule contractor. In
addition, each pricelist contains the pricing and the terms and conditions
pertaining to each Special Item Number that is on schedule. The schedule
contractor is required to provide one copy of its pricelist to any ordering
activity upon request. Also, a copy of the pricelist may be obtained from the
Federal Supply Service by submitting a written e-mail request to
schedules.infocenter@gsa.gov(link sends email) or by telephone at
1-800-488-3111. This subpart, together with the pricelists, contain necessary
information for placing delivery or task orders with schedule contractors. In
addition, the GSA schedule contracting office issues Federal Supply Schedules
publications that contain a general overview of the Federal Supply Schedule
(FSS) program and address pertinent topics. Ordering activities may request
copies of schedules publications by contacting the Centralized Mailing List
Service through the Internet at http://www.gsa.gov/cmls(link is external),
submitting written e-mail requests to CMLS@gsa.gov(link sends email); or by
completing GSA Form 457, FSS Publications Mailing List Application, and mailing
it to the GSA Centralized Mailing List Service (7 SM), P.O. Box 6477, Fort
Worth, TX 76115. Copies of GSA Form 457 may also be obtained from the
above-referenced points of contact.



      (c)

(1) GSA offers an on-line shopping service called "GSA Advantage!" through which
ordering activities may place orders against Schedules. (Ordering activities may
also use GSA Advantage! to place orders through GSA’s Global Supply System, a
GSA wholesale supply source, formerly known as "GSA Stock" or the "Customer
Supply Center." FAR subpart  8.4 is not applicable to orders placed through the
GSA Global Supply System.) Ordering activities may access GSA Advantage! through
the GSA Federal Supply Service Home Page ( http://www.gsa.gov/fas(link is
external)) or the GSA Federal Supply Schedule Home Page at
http://www.gsa.gov/schedules(link is external).

           (2) GSA Advantage! enables ordering activities to search specific
information (i.e., national stock number, part number, common name), review
delivery options, place orders directly with Schedule contractors (except see
8.405-6) and pay for orders using the Governmentwide commercial purchase card.



      (d)

(1) e-Buy, GSA’s electronic Request for Quotation (RFQ) system, is a part of a
suite of on-line tools which complement GSA Advantage!. E-Buy allows ordering
activities to post requirements, obtain quotes, and issue orders electronically.
Posting an RFQ on e-Buy—

                (i) Is one medium for providing fair notice to all schedule
contractors offering such supplies and services as required by,  8.405-2, and
8.405-3; and

                (ii) Is required when an order contains brand-name
specifications (see 8.405-6).

           (2) Ordering activities may access e-Buy at
http://www.ebuy.gsa.gov(link is external). For more information or assistance on
either GSA Advantage! or e-Buy, contact GSA at Internet e-mail address
gsa.advantage@gsa.gov(link sends email).

      (e) For more information or assistance regarding the Federal Supply
Schedule Program, review the following website:
http://www.gsa.gov/schedules(link is external). Additionally, for on-line
training courses regarding the Schedules Program, review the following website:
http://www.gsa.gov/training(link is external).

      (f) For administrative convenience, an ordering activity contracting
officer may add items not on the Federal Supply Schedule (also referred to as
open market items) to a Federal Supply Schedule blanket purchase agreement (BPA)
or an individual task or delivery order only if-

           (1) All applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase
of the items not on the Federal Supply Schedule have been followed (e.g.,
publicizing ( part  5), competition requirements ( part  6), acquisition of
commercial products or commercial services ( part  12), contracting methods (
parts  13, 14, and 15), and small business programs ( part  19));

           (2) The ordering activity contracting officer has determined the
price for the items not on the Federal Supply Schedule is fair and reasonable;

           (3) The items are clearly labeled on the order as items not on the
Federal Supply Schedule and they conform to the rules for numbering line items
at subpart 4.10; and

           (4) All clauses applicable to items not on the Federal Supply
Schedule are included in the order.

      (g) When using the Governmentwide commercial purchase card as a method of
payment, orders at or below the micro-purchase threshold are exempt from
verification in the System for Award Management as to whether the contractor has
a delinquent debt subject to collection under the Treasury Offset Program (TOP).
