The information being collected is
tied to the aforementioned GSAR clauses and provisions. These
clauses/provisions apply to offerors submitting an offer in
response to GSA’s MAS solicitation. These clauses/provisions
request offerors to submit information, as applicable, as part of
their offer. The following is the information requested per clause:
● GSAR clause 552.238-84, Discounts for Prompt Payment. This clause
requests an offeror to identify in their offer any discounts for
early payment. If no discount is being offered, an offeror may
include a statement in their offer that no discounts are being
offered. ● GSAR clause 552.238-87, Delivery Prices. This clause
requests an offeror to identify in their offer whether or not
prices submitted cover delivery f.o.b. destination in Alaska,
Hawaii, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. If the prices
submitted do not cover these areas, an offeror may include a
statement in their offer indicating this. ● GSAR clause 552.238-95,
Separate Charge for Performance Oriented Packaging (POP). This
clause requests an applicable offeror to identify any hazardous
material item (i.e., SIN or Descriptive Name of Article) being
offered and the separate charge that applies. If no hazardous
material items and/or such separate charges are being offered, an
offeror may include a statement in their offer that this clause
does not apply. ● GSAR clause 552.238-96, Separate Charge for
Delivery within Consignee’s Premises. This clause requests an
applicable offeror to identify any separate charge(s) for shipping
when the delivery is within the consignee’s premises (inclusive of
items that are comparable in size and weight). If no such separate
charges are being offered, an offeror may include a statement in
their offer that this clause does not apply. ● GSAR clause
552.238-97, Parts and Service. This clause requests an offeror to
include in their offer the names and addresses of all supply and
service points maintained in the geographic area in which the
offeror would perform under the GSA FSS contract (if awarded one).
Additionally, requests an offeror to indicate whether or not a
complete stock of repair parts for the items being offered is
carried at that point, and whether or not mechanical service is
available. If this clause does not apply (e.g., the offeror is
proposing services not products), an offeror may include a
statement in their offer that this clause does not apply. ● GSAR
clause 552.238-99, Delivery Prices Overseas. This clause requests
an offeror to identify the intended geographic
area(s)/countries/zones which are covered by their offer. ● GSAR
clause 552.238-111, Environmental Protection Agency Registration
Requirement. This clause requests offerors to identify the
manufacturer’s and/or distributor’s name and EPA Registration
Number for each item offered that requires registration with the
EPA. If no such items are being offered, an offeror may include a
statement in their offer that this clause does not apply. ● GSAR
provision 552.238-118 Single-use Plastic (SUP) Free Packaging
Identification. This provision allows offerors to identify SUP free
packaging supplies and products they are offering. ● GSAR clause
552.238-119 Single-use Plastic (SUP) Free Packaging Availability.
This clause allows offerors/contractors to identify SUP free
packaging supplies and products they are offering as well as
identify any type of price premiums and discounts within their
price list.
For Item 12, an updated
estimated # of respondents per year was used. This number was
calculated by adding the total number of offers received over a
three fiscal year span and then dividing that number by 3 (if
necessary, the number was then rounded to the nearest whole
number). The change in this number can be attributed to being able
to obtain updated data. Specifically, the update data reflects
fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, whereas the prior data reflected
fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021. For Items 12 & 14, an
updated estimated cost per hour was used. This number is based on
the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) GS-12, Step 5 salary of
$48.13 per hour (see OPM Salary Table 2025-RUS, Effective January
2025), plus a fringe factor of 36.25% ($17.45) (see OMB Memo
M-08-13 for use in public-private competition). The change can be
attributed to using current data (i.e., the previous extension used
OPM salary data from 2022). The GSAR clauses affected by this
information collection have been updated to add GSAR provision
552.238-118 Single-use Plastic (SUP) Free Packaging Identification,
and GSAR clause 552.238-119 Single-use Plastic (SUP) Free Packaging
Availability. These two requirements were added to this ICR as part
of a Final Rule (see 89 FR 48330) that went into effect July 8,
2024.
