GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

Federal Supply Service


Non-Express Small Package Tender of Service

AGENCY: Federal Supply Service, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of final issuance of the GSA Non-Express Small Package 
Tender of Service.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA), in compliance with 
41 U.S.C. 418b, is publishing the GSA Non-Express Small Package Tender 
of Service (SPTOS) which may be accessed as described in the 
Supplementary Information of this notice. The SPTOS establishes a 
uniform basis for buying routine non-express small package 
transportation service. GSA's solicitation and acceptance of small 
package rates and charges provides highly competitive pricing, which in 
certain cases includes the solicitation and acceptance of rates 
specific to an individual agency that accommodate that agency's 
particular traffic characteristics. GSA's Federal customer agencies 
benefit from the SPTOS, which leverages the Government's buying power 
to provide agencies standardized, cost effective, non-express small 
package transportation services.

DATES: August 29, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Raymond Price, Transportation 
Program Branch by phone 703-305-7536 or by e-mail at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SPTOS was published in the Federal 
Register for comment on April 1, 2002 (67 FR 15386). Comments, due by 
May 31, 2002, were received from United Parcel Service. GSA considered 
these comments in finalizing the document for publication, 
incorporating changes where appropriate, and reconciled with the 
commenting organization those comments that were not adopted. The final 
SPTOS is available through the Internet at the following site: http://www.kc.gsa.gov/fsstt/frt/sptos.htm. If you are unable to access this
