GSA Schedules now allow products from Taiwan

Good morning, this is Ted Erlwein, one of the senior instructors for the Institute and a GSA Schedules expert. We received notification this morning that FAR 52.225-5 is being changed to now include Taiwan as an approved country of manufacture for GSA Schedules. Companies working on their GSA submission should review their offerings to see if they had previously removed any Taiwanese manufactured items. Companies with a GSA Schedule should review their total offering and modify their GSA Schedule to now include any Taiwanese manufactured items.

    Ted,

    Great post, thanks for sharing. Did you also see the latest news on the GSA Mentor-Protege Program? Here is the press on it. http://fcw.com/articles/2009/08/14/gsa-mentor-protege-program.aspx
    Looks like (based on the FBO responses) that many of the primes already have their own M-P prgms and are not “on board” with GSA’s program. Perhaps a knee-jerk reaction to the recent statistics that most of the Stimulus contracts are going to the large companies, leaving the small & veteran businesses out of the picture.

    Thanks,
