GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICE

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 micro purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catologs/pricelists of atleast three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! ä on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catolog/pricelists, GSA Advantage! ä In the Federal Supply Service homepage (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 for meeting or exceeding 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.

In accordance with FAR 8.404: Orders placed in 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 the Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek 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 price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’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

1. 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 placing an order that exceeds the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall—
