This DLA Disposition Services pamphlet outlines standard instructions, terms, and conditions for surplus and foreign excess personal property sales. It supersedes the March 1994 edition, emphasizing careful reading due to substantial changes. Key clauses highlighted include Bid Information, Storage Charges/Late Removal Charges, and All-or-None Bids. The document details procedures for payments, refunds, property removal, and export/import regulations. It addresses conditions like "as is, where is" sales, bid consideration, default consequences, and government liability limitations. Special conditions cover joint bids, eligibility of bidders, and compliance with various laws, including the Privacy Act and regulations concerning hazardous materials. The pamphlet also specifies requirements for bid deposits, modifications, and awards for both sealed bid and term sales, ensuring transparency and adherence to legal frameworks in government property disposition.
The Standard Form 114 (SF 114) is a federal government form used for the sale of government property through a bid and award process. This specific Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 33-5054, issued by DLA Disposition Services, outlines the procedures for bidders to purchase items listed on an accompanying schedule. Bids will be opened publicly on January 6, 2026, at 13:00 EST (LOCAL) at DLA Disposition Services, 74 N. Washington Ave., Battle Creek, MI 49037-3092. Bidders must agree to pay for and remove property within 90 calendar days (or as specified by IFB Terms). The form also requires bidders to provide information about their business status (e.g., individual, small business) and disclose any third-party involvement in securing the contract. A bid deposit may be required, payable to DLA Disposition Services. The government will then accept bids based on the items numbered and the total amount bid, with the contract awarded by a Contracting Officer.
The document is an Item Bid Page, Standard Form 114A (REV. 11/2002), for the sealed bid sale of government property. It provides instructions for bidders on how to enter unit prices and total prices for various material items. Bidders must specify a price per unit (e.g., each, foot/centimeter, pound/kilogram) for items solicited in units, and extend the total to the "Total Price Bid" column. For bids solicited by the lot, only a total price should be entered in the "Total Price Bid" column. The form lists three items (DS000E1LA, DS000C1AA, DS000D1DA) with quantities in pounds, indicating that these are bulk materials. The form requires the bidder's name and identification number. This document is a critical component of a government Request for Proposal (RFP) process for disposing of surplus or specific government property through a sealed bid auction.
