DEPARTMENT: General Services Administration (GSA)
TYPE OF PURCHASE: Term Contract
REASON: GSA is seeking to acquire, from Automotive

source distributor for Rapac Network
International, Inc., of proprietary fuel collars
and electronic components for the automated
computerized fuel facility (FuelOMat), on an as -
needed contract basis, for one (1) year, with the
option to extend for two (2) additional one-year
periods. Its proprietary system offers the unique

hose and spill fuel, resulting in costly repairs to
the City.

(2) additional one-year periods. Funding, in a
total amount not to exceed $240,000, is
