ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT ORDERING SYSTEM. Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(b) the Government will afford fair opportunity for Task Order award to all Contractors in the Alliant 2 award pool. The preferred system for posting GSA GWAC opportunities is the GSA eBuy system (See Attachment J-8 Website References). To establish full inclusion in the fair opportunity process, each Contractor is responsible for registering and maintaining an account in:
1. eBuy - Available to all federal agencies. eBuy is an electronic Request for Proposal/Request for Quote (RFP/RFQ) system designed to allow all government buyers to request information, find sources, and prepare and post RFPs/RFQs online for IT services offered through the GSA Technology Contracts. GSA Assisted Acquisition Service OCOs using the GSA IT Solutions Shop can utilize the eBuy Connect feature, which will enable the posting of GWAC requirements into the GSA eBuy system. The actual receipt of proposals may occur outside of the eBuy system, as directed in the Task Order Request.
ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT ORDERING SYSTEM.
a. NITAAC has developed the secure Electronic Government Ordering System (e-GOS), a web-based delivery order processing system, to allow customers to perform fair opportunity in accordance with FAR 16.5 and to integrate workflow management, electronic document management, and aspects of customer relationship management to enhance process efficiency, and improve data/information integrity. The Contractor and customers will be required to use the e-GOS in order to participate in the delivery order process by registering as an e-GOS user and agreeing to system usage rules of behavior. To accommodate delivery order set-asides as provided by Article G.7.2 (c), e-GOS will categorize contractors by business size status, socio-economic status, and distinguish whether the company had proposed as a Value Added Reseller (VAR) or as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
b. The contractor electronic mailbox address, a personal email address, or a general email address may not be used to register for an account in e-GOS. Individuals within the contractor’s organization shall register individually in e-GOS using their individually assigned company email address for an e-GOS user account.
c. The Contractor shall identify an e-GOS representative as the contractor’s primary point of contact for providing training on e-GOS and resolution of related issues. This individual shall also be the primary interface point to NITAAC on e-GOS and shall attend mandatory e-GOS training as deemed necessary by NITAAC.
d. Responses to solicitations issued under the contract shall be submitted in e-GOS. In the event a government customer requests that the contractor submit their response through e-mail or in hardcopy format, the Contractor may do so; however, the Contractor shall also submit their response through e-GOS prior to the response deadline. If the Contractor decides not to submit a proposal in response to a solicitation, a “No Bid” response shall be submitted through e-GOS on or before the closing date and time established in the solicitation.
e. The Contractor is authorized to initiate work only after receipt of an award document through e-GOS.
f. Delivery tracking information for all shipments made shall be reported by the Contractor in e-GOS no later than five (5) calendar days after the shipment date. For each shipment reported, the Contractor shall provide the shipping provider, identify the shipment as partial or full, and provide total quantity of items shipped. Repor...

Contractors shall ensure their points of contact are current and accurate in the above Government systems. The OCO may directly contact the GWAC Program, at Xxxxxxx0@xxx.xxx, whenever the Contractor’s email address is returned as UNDELIVERABLE.
