36 -- THE OFFICE, IMAGING AND DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS SOLICITATION

The Office Equipment Division of the Office and Scientific Equipment Center has issued a refreshed solicitation, identified as FCGE-C1-00-0001-BREFRESH4, pertaining to Special Item Number 51 504 for Records Management Services, specifically storage services. This update informs all potential vendors and ordering agencies that references to compliance with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) regulations and certifications have been removed from the solicitation. Consequently, it is now the responsibility of all ordering agencies to ensure vendor compliance with NARA standards independently, rather than relying on the solicitation's stipulations. Additionally, this refreshed solicitation includes new or updated contractual clauses which interested parties must review. The solicitation is available for download through the General Services Administration’s Office of Acquisition Management based in Washington, DC. The update was posted in December 2002 and serves as a presolicitation notice, inviting vendors to prepare for potential participation under the revised terms and conditions.
