Description
The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for wrist watches. The RFI is for a prospective acquisition that could result in the creation of a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a one-year base period and nine one-year option periods. The GSA is seeking information on wrist watches that meet specific salient characteristics, including overall case diameter, overall case thickness, unit type, background color, strap color, strap material, case material, crystal type, and movement type. The RFI includes detailed specifications for the wrist watches, including requirements for packaging, marking, and quality assurance.
• The wrist watches must meet the salient characteristics specified in the RFI.
• The watches must be packaged to provide protection against loss or damage during shipments, handling, and storage.
• The packaging must comply with the latest revision of ASTM D3951 Standard Practice for Commercial Packaging.
• The watches must be marked in accordance with FED-STD-123H for civilian destinations and MIL-STD-129R for military destinations.
• The GSA is seeking information on wrist watches that can meet the requirements of the prospective acquisition.
• The RFI is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a Request for Quote (RFQ), and it does not obligate the government to any specific acquisition strategy.
• The government will not award a contract based on the feedback received from this RFI, nor will it provide reimbursement for costs associated with the preparation of submissions or the subsequent use of provided information.
