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.

Visit Us at the Indianapolis Sign Business and Digital Graphics Show

We’re going to be at the Indianapolis Sign Business and Digital Graphics Show from May 28th – May 30th.

Okay, it’s not the Indianapolis 500 or a Colts game, but still, we’re looking forward to it. And if you work in a sign shop or the digital graphics business, you need to be here.

National Business Media is promoting this regional show, as well as shows in Long Beach, CA, Baltimore, MD, Tampa, FL, and Charlotte, NC. The show will feature a three-day trade show and a four-day education conference. If you’re in the sign business, you need to be here.

We’ll be there, talking about UV curable flatbed printers.

UV curable flatbed printers are changing the game by lowering printing costs to a point that makes even recently purchased solvent technology based printers obsolete. If you own or manage a sign or banner printing facility, or would like to, you need to take time to learn how you can have as much as a 50% cost advantage on your competition:

Right now, most sign and banner shops sell a 5′x3′ full color banner for around $120. We can now sell the same thing for $60 and make the same profit.” — Garry Jones, Owner Lloyds of Indiana

The best way to see how UV Printing is revolutionizing sign printing is to see it in action for yourself. That’s why we open up our production center to let sign shop and print shop owners see exactly how wide format UV printing fits in. Join us on May 28th through May 30th at the Indianapolis Sign Business and Digital Graphics Show and an informational tour of our facility to see firsthand how a single Digital Equipment Company Legend 72 HUV flatbed printer has revolutionized our business, and how it can change yours, too.
