Standard Tender of Service

The General Services Administration (GSA), in compliance with 41 U.S.C. 418b, is publishing the GSA Standard Tender of Service (STOS) that establishes a uniform basis for buying freight transportation. GSA's solicitation and acceptance of freight rates and charges provides highly competitive pricing, which in certain cases includes the solicitation and acceptance of rates specific to an individual agency that accommodate that agency's particular traffic characteristics. GSA's Federal customer agencies benefit from the STOS which leverages the Government's buying power to provide agencies standardized cost effective transportation services. All submitted comments will be considered prior to reissuing the STOS. Publication in the Federal Register of the reissued STOS will effectively cancel the current STOS and all its supplements.
