Lloyd’s gets GSA Advantage Contract!

Lloyd’s of Indiana is awarded certificate of contract with GSA Advantage.

GSA awards contracts to responsible companies offering commercial items, at fair and reasonable prices, that fall within the generic descriptions in the GSA Schedule. Contracting Officers determine whether prices are fair and reasonable by comparing the prices/discounts that a company offers the government with the prices/discounts that the company offers to commercial customers. This negotiation objective is commonly known as “most favored customer” pricing. In order to make this comparison, GSA requires offerors to furnish commercial price lists and disclose information regarding their pricing/discounting practices.

Submission of Offers: Paper or Electronic

 

As an alternative to the paper submission of offers, GSA has developed eOffer, a web based application that allows a vendor to prepare and submit a Schedule offer electronically. eOffer is designed to create an interactive, secure environment that simplifies the contracting process from submission of offers to contract awards. eOffer uses the latest digital authentication technology to ensure the integrity of data and to electronically sign the offer. Digital certificates are required to use eOffer.

The eOffer website contains a variety of information regarding the eOffer application, including available training, information regarding digital certificates, and identification of those Schedules under which eOffers are currently being accepted.

If you put that equipment into service this year, then you’re entitled to an additional 50% depreciation on the remainder. Those write-offs and tax savings can mean major cash flow advantages and huge cost cuts.

The Numbers

Let’s do the numbers then – you want to buy a Legend 72 UV Curable Printer, the best and first heavy-duty, industrial-grade UV-curable printer available for under $80,000. For an individual or small business in the average 33% tax bracket, that means a total tax cash credit of Read more
