The Equipment List Instructions document provides comprehensive guidance for preparing equipment lists for government acquisitions, including federal RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs. It details required information such as Alexsys and PRI numbers, acquisition type (Service, Supply, New Software Only, Software Renewal Only), acquisition schedule, and shipping details. The document emphasizes precise line item structuring in accordance with DFARS 204.7103-1, requiring unique descriptions, manufacturer information, part numbers, and quantities. Key instructions include identifying specific dates for service periods or delivery due dates, especially for software licenses, and ensuring all dates are forward-looking from contract award to avoid backdating and reinstatement fees. It also mandates separate line items for incidental services, software license coverage periods, and option years for continued services. The document highlights the importance of verifying part numbers for obsolescence, conducting market research for software versions, and providing prior software account information for renewals. An example equipment list demonstrates the application of these instructions, detailing items like DuraNET Ethernet Switches and breakout cable sets with their respective acquisition information, part numbers, quantities, and unit of measure.
