SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 

A. Purpose

The GSA is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate information collection, 3090-0204, concerning the Commercial Delivery Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule) clause. The Commercial Delivery Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule) clause required offerors to provide their commercial delivery terms and conditions. FSS awards contracts to commercial firms under terms and conditions that mirror commercial practices for the supplies and services. In order to ensure the Government obtains the supplies within the offeror's commercial delivery timeframe, the offeror must provide the information requested in the clause, Commercial Delivery Schedule (Multiple Award Schedule).

The GSA is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate information collection, 3090-0204, concerning the Notice of Shipment clause. A Notice of Shipment clause is used when it is in the Government's interest to have a supply contractor furnish a notice of shipment. Such a notice is necessary when preparations need to be made for docking arrangements, storage, trans-shipment of materials handling equipment of supplies and equipment upon delivery, labor and inside delivery at destination.
