Automated Process to Remove Non-Compliant Products
FAS runs an automated process several times each year to streamline the removal of non-compliant products from Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts. Non-compliant products are identified by using data from the Verified Products Portal (VPP), wholesalers and trusted distributors. Contractors will receive an SF-30 removing the products from the contract and FAS will remove the product(s) from GSA Advantage.
Your Contracting Officer may take corrective action if non-compliant products are repeatedly offered under your contract. Contractors that receive an SF-30 through this process should take the following actions:
- Remove non-compliant products from your Price Proposal Template - Tab A and Schedules Input Program (SIP) or Electronic Data Interchange. Do not include the products on future modification requests or future SIP or EDI submissions.
- Products that were removed for inaccurately listing the country of origin as “US” may be offered on future modification requests if the country of origin is corrected.
- Remanufactured products may be offered on future modification requests to SINs that allow remanufactured products and/or if the product is identified as remanufactured as required per clause 552.238-78.
- If non-compliant products are listed on the Contract Price List, remove the products from the Contract Price List within 30 days of modification as required by clause I-FSS-600 Contract Price List.
- If products that are not compliant with these clauses: FAR 52.204-23, 52.204-25 or 52.204-30 Alt I, are sold, report the required information within the specified timeframes to the applicable Contracting Officers as required in the clause(s).
FAS may take action to remove non-compliant products from MAS contracts and GSA Advantage!
