One of the final steps before you're awarded your new shiny GSA MAS contract is completing the FPR.  Sometimes it comes prepopulated by your generous CO, other times they leave it for you to fill out.  Hop into the episode to get a heads up before the deadline arrives.

Welcome to GSA 101 brought to you by Elevate GSA: where we turn GOVSPEAK into a language YOU speak.  My name is Hannah Struss and I have Collin Hartsell here with me and we are going to be talking about the Final Proposal Revision Letter. 

As you navigate the GSA process, there are many twists and turns you may have not foreseen! Our goal is to cover as many of these hurdles as possible so it is not brand new to you when it arises. After clarifications and negotiations conclude, your contracting officer will request something called a Final Proposal Revision Letter. This document will either be a blank template that your CO sends for you to fill in and return, or a prefilled in document that you need to review, sign and return. It just depends on your CO! 

This document will reflect the terms and conditions of your contract, as they were negotiated with your Contracting Officer. This document will include the following:

·      The agreed upon EPA Clause tied to your contract, along with any relevant specifics (i.e. the annual percentage increase for a build out, etc.)

·      Basic Discount to Most Favored Customer and GSA

·      Quantity Discount

·      Payment Terms 

·      Freight on Boardn 

·      Expedited Delivery

·      Warranty Information

·      Minimum Order

·      Other Concessions as Applicable

·      Statement affirming understanding of Sales Reporting and Industrial Funding Fee Remittance obligations

·      Declaration of MFC/Basis of Award Customer

·      Statement affirming understanding of the Price Reduction Clause and associated implications

·      Contract Administrator designation

·      Affirmation of an auditable accounting system

·      Declares the Commercial Price list document and Price Proposal Template for which the contract is based on

·      Statement of compliance with the Trade Agreement Act 

·      Statement of compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards

·      Subcontracting compliance statement 

·      Acceptance of all terms and conditions associated with the current MAS Refresh

Read this document carefully and check it against your own notes from the negotiations call/emails especially if it was filled out on your behalf! This is nonreversible and critical for it to be accurate and complete. Retain this document for your records.
