SECTION B. – PRODUCTS AND PRICES

The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) intends to issue a Fixed Price Supply contract.

Orders will be placed directly by the ordering agency.

B.1 REQUIREMENTS:

This is a requirements contract for the services and items for the period specified herein.

Orders issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that time shall be completed

by the contractor within the time specified in the order, and the rights and obligations of the contractor and the

Government respecting those orders shall be governed by the terms of this contract to the same extent as if

completed during the effective period of this contract.

The Government may issue orders which provide for shipment/delivery to or performance at multiple

destinations.

There will be no obligation to place orders under this contract, and the contractor will only be paid for products

delivered. The GPO will not reimburse the contractor for any startup costs necessary to fulfill the contract

requirements.

All prices submitted must be on the basis of “most favored customer” pricing. The contractor must lower the

pricing schedule as needed to allow the GPO to maintain the “most favored” pricing status. Adjustments will not

be made to increase line item prices.

The GPO will monitor pricing during the life of the contract and may terminate the contract with the contractor if

their pricing violates the “most favored customer” pricing certification.

The contractor shall propose a trade discount for all products provided. A minimum trade discount of six (6)

percent will be accepted. The GPO will pay the contractor each month, less the trade discount, within 30 calendar

days of receipt of the billing invoice.

The contractor may offer a prompt payment discount to the GPO in addition to the trade discount (see

page 1).

B.2 PRICE SCHEDULE:

Offerors must make an entry for each item described in the Price Schedule using the format provided below.

Pricing submitted with any obliteration, revision, or alteration of the order or manner of submitting prices may be

declared nonresponsive. Prices submitted are to be nationwide and must be offered in all locations.

In addition, offerors may submit an all-inclusive list of all products and services they will provide to the

Government in addition to the line items listed below under the GPOExpress Program. All products are to be

offered nationwide and must be offered in all locations. This list must include the price for each product and must

reflect the offeror’s “most favored customer” pricing.

Offerors must list the colors available for the required colored stocks in their proposals (see Section C.5).
