COMDTINST 16477.5
(a) "Term Sales" contracts are sealed bid transactions that cover a period not to
exceed one year, and allow for a specified number of recyclable material
pickups/deliveries, depending on generation frequency an estimated weight of
the material during that period. The advantage to this type of sale contract is that
it is a once a year contractual effort, with each pickup not to exceed ,000 as
specified in the terms of the contract.
(2) The sealed bid process is described as follows and can be used for individual sales
contracts, or term sales contracts which would not exceed one year.
(a) The sales offering shall be prepared using the Optional Form (OF) 15 poster,
"Sale of Government Property" [Figure 1-1]. The OF-15 shall describe the
property in commercial terms, fully and accurately (especially if the property
contains hazardous material), including all defects, using the best information
available. NOTE: In addition to the OF-15 offering, you may also telephone
local recyclers and material purchasers to solicit their participation in the "sealed
bid" process. By notifying them directly of the sale, you will increase your
recyclables marketability.
(b) The OF-15 should include reference to the "General Sales Terms and
Conditions" in Standard Form (SF) 114C, "Special Sealed Bid Conditions" SF-
114C-1, and "Special Sealed Bid -Term Conditions" SF-114C-2 [Figures 1-2(a-
e)]. The appropriate SF-114C forms should be posted at the sale site or selling
office throughout the process.
(c) The OF-15 should require certified payment within 10 days of the bid award and
property removal with 15 days of sale, where possible.
(d) Advertise the sale by posting the OF-15 in public buildins, nearby public bulletin
boards, or by direct mailings to at least 3 prospective bidders, where possible. If
the expected sales proceeds, minus any advertising cost, are estimated to exceed
0, post at least one advertisement in the local newspaper circulated in the
area where the property is located.
