There are no guarantees that GSA will approve requested changes to data during the RFP phase. Please provide diligence with the additional time allowed during this re-opening of AutoStandards (Round #2). After AutoStandards (Round #2) closes, GSA Engineering will review all data and determine disposition of each make/model in each SIN. The data in the GSA web site will remain open for viewing only. GSA reserves the rights to remove (or move) makes/models and/or revise GSA minimums. GSA will not change the data that you enter for the representative makes/models. The requirements will be finalized prior to the posting of the RFP. General clarifications and changes: Refer to the attached PDFs, revised drafts of GSA Purchase Descriptions.
