Award will be made strictly to the highest bidder who meets all eligibility and submission requirements, with no evaluation of technical merit, past performance, or other non-price factors. The successful bidder must remove all property from the GPO facility at 732 North Capitol Street NW, Washington, DC by September 4, 2026, at their own expense and risk, as the property is sold “as is, where is” with no warranties regarding condition, quality, or suitability. The Government retains the right to withdraw the property before removal, in which case only a full refund is due. All bidders must be at least 18 years old, not debarred or suspended per SAM.gov, and must certify independent price determination without collusion. No contingent fees or broker commissions are permitted, and assignment of the contract is prohibited under federal law. Payment must be made to the U.S. Government Publishing Office, and no electronic invoicing systems are used—remittance is made via physical certified funds. No packaging, preservation, or marking specifications are provided by the Government, and the purchaser is solely responsible for all removal logistics. Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding handling and transport is the bidder’s sole responsibility.
