socioeconomic firm diversity.<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">Increase MRO items available.<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">Obtain pricing within the lowest 25 percent of government buying options.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enhanced SIN (to be numbered and officially described closer to an offer period) has the potential to include the ability for customer agencies to solicit and place BPAs directly with vendors against the SIN; incorporate ancillary services (including sourcing as a service) for one-stop shopping; offer zonal pricing and FOB origin and\/or minimum order quantities; involve targeted set asides; expand smarter discounts; and feature sensible fill and kill response times, among other features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GSA has prepared five multipart questions for current and future MRO purchase channel contract holders to help clarify features and terms that would benefit the variety and flexibility of part-numbered products and an improved price structure for federal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vendors interested in offering
