39 -- Buildings and Building Material/Industrial Services and Supplies

Effective April 1, 2003, the existing Multiple Award Schedule 539, which covered a broad range of products and services including recreational, hospitality, law enforcement, facilities, industrial, and environmental areas, is being divided into five distinct new schedules to better align with the General Products Acquisition Center's Core Business Lines. These new schedules are: Schedule 056 for Buildings and Building Materials/Industrial Services and Supplies; Schedule 073 for Food Service, Hospitality, Cleaning Equipment and Supplies, Chemicals and Services; Schedule 078 for Sports, Promotional, Outdoor, Recreation, Trophies and Signs; Schedule 084 for Total Solutions in Law Enforcement, Security, Facilities Management, Fire, Rescue, Clothing, Marine Craft, and Emergency/Disaster Response; and Schedule 736 for Temporary Administrative and Professional Staffing. The solicitation for the original Schedule 539 will be withdrawn on March 13, 2003, with offers accepted only until March 14, 2003. Following that date, interested parties must submit offers under the new schedule solicitations, which are being issued electronically and can be accessed via FedBizOpps. One of the key new schedules, Schedule 056, focuses specifically on Buildings and Building Material/Industrial Services and Supplies and is managed by the GSA's Region 7 Acquisition Center located in Fort Worth, Texas. The contracting officer overseeing this solicitation is Kori L. Bertino, available for contact via email or phone. This restructuring aims to streamline procurement efforts by categorizing goods and services more precisely according to the government’s operational needs. As part of this transition, the prior consolidated solicitation is being phased out in favor of targeted solicitations that address specialized requirements within their respective sectors.
