Introduction and Agreement
These terms of service govern the use of the website lockridgegsa.buzz and the professional consultation services offered there by Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC, a firm located at 7533 S Center View Ct, West Jordan - 84084-5526, United States (US). The developer LockridgeGSA builds and maintains the platform that delivers these pages and is referenced here only to describe the technical operator of the site.
Please read these terms carefully before you submit a contact inquiry, place a proposal request, or enter a written agreement through this desk. By using the site or by sending a request through the form, the published email agent@lockridgegsa.buzz, or the phone line +15808045368, you accept these terms. If a separate engagement agreement is later signed between you and the organization, the signed agreement governs the specific work it describes, and these general terms continue to govern the site and its day to day use.
These terms and the linked privacy policy should be read together. Where a question touches on the handling of personal data, the privacy policy supplies the fuller answer. Where this agreement supplies the fuller answer, it controls. Nothing in either document replaces the plain requirements of the law that applies in your location.
Acceptance of These Terms
Your acceptance happens at clear points. When you submit the contact form, you accept these terms for that submission. When you telephone the desk, your use of the line implies acceptance of the same rules. When you sign an intake or engagement form, your signature accepts both the specific document and these terms as the general frame of the relationship.
If you use the site on behalf of a company, a partnership, or a government contractor, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that entity to these terms. The words for you in these pages then mean your employer and its owners, and the duties below fall on the entity rather than on a single staff member who happens to click a link.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, the correct step is to stop using the site and not to begin an engagement. Merely reading the public pages for information and leaving without submitting data is always allowed and does not require your acceptance of anything beyond the normal courtesy rules that apply to any website visit. A reader who stays after reading this notice is treated as agreeing to these terms as of that continuing use.
Eligibility to Use the Services
The services are aimed at professionals in the United States who administer federal procurement and who are at least the age of eighteen and capable of entering a binding contract. The organization reserves the right to decline a request where eligibility is unclear, where the client ask falls outside its practice, or where a conflict of interest exists between two clients whose work cannot be separated on the desk.
The desk serves small contractors, meaning small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women owned firms, veteran owned firms, and small businesses in the categories that qualify for federal set asides. Serving this community does not require you to hold a particular certification to begin a conversation, though accurate disclosures become important when filings are made under a certification that extends a preference.
The organization is not a government agency and does not register as an attorney or a certified public accountant. Its work is advisory and systems oriented: preparing documents, building calendars, structuring prices, and reviewing opportunities in the way a specialized contractor desk does. Where a matter clearly calls for licensed legal or accounting advice, the desk will say so and will guide you to the right professional rather than crossing a line it does not hold authority to practice over.
Description of the Services
The desk provides federal procurement advisory and computer integrated systems design services for the paper life of a GSA Schedule. In concrete terms that work includes proposal package preparation, the operation of a compliance calendar, price and rate structure builds, the handling of modifications and renewals, the development of past performance narratives, and disciplined opportunity tracking with a bid or no-bid recommendation.
Through the public pages visitors can read plain explanations of each work stream and the process rail the desk uses to move a file from intake through draft, certification, filing, and tracking. The living services are delivered by staff who read each file rather than by automated templates alone, and the published book a bid review button opens the conversation that starts an engagement. The desk posts an address of 7533 S Center View Ct, West Jordan - 84084-5526, United States (US) and a working phone +15808045368 for those who prefer the telephone.
Each engagement is scoped in writing before substantial work begins. The scope names the deliverable, the schedule or opportunity it relates to, the inputs you must supply, and the assumption of who files each document. Where the desk files for you, that step is named in the scope; where you file under your own account, the desk prepares and you submit. This division keeps accountability clear through the whole engagement.
Proposal Preparation Services
Proposal preparation is the flagship service and the most detailed. Under that service the desk builds a GSA Schedule package in the format the current schedule language requires. The deliverable normally includes a technical narrative aligned to your product category, a normalized price list, the administrative forms expected for your entity, an evidence appendix, and a review note that names the assumptions used.
The desk prepares the package to the standard of a careful, competent specialist: the documents will be internally consistent, correctly sequenced, and formatted to the template current at the time of writing. The desk does not guarantee that a contracting officer will award, because no honest advisor can. Award depends in part on the market, the schedule category, the pricing submitted, and matters entirely outside the writing of the file.
During preparation the desk may ask clarifying questions whose answers change the draft. Those clarifications are part of the engagement, and a delay in answering them is a delay in the schedule. The scope records the working assumption that you answer ordinary clarifications within three business days so that a quarterly window is not lost to a slow turn of a single question. If you need longer, say so early and the desk will re-plan the timeline in writing.
No Guarantee of Award
The desk states this plainly so neither side builds an expectation it cannot defend: Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC does not and cannot guarantee that any proposal will be accepted or that any contract will be awarded. The decision to award a schedule or a task belongs to the agency and follows criteria that include questions of price, competition, and compliance with current announcements, none of which the desk controls.
Figures quoted on the public pages, including counts of wins and passed audits, describe the historical record of the desk and are not a promise about your particular file. Past performance of a specialist does not create a contractual duty that a future file will match that record, and no reasonable reading of the site should treat those figures as a forecast.
If another firm or a representative claims a guarantee of award in connection with a schedule, that claim should be treated with caution. The federal market has firm rules against paying for a promise of a certain result, and this desk operates on the opposite basis: it sells careful, documented work and lets the outcome follow the quality of the file and the fit of the opportunity.
Client Duties and Information
For the work to succeed, you carry a set of duties, and the desk will remind you of them in the scope. You agree to provide the true commercial pricing basis that the schedule expects, the current list of catalog items or services you intend to offer, the entity details that match what the agency holds, and any reference or performance records the narrative work requires.
You agree to make decisions in time for the desk to act on them. A signature, a confirmation, a missing price, or a reference list that sits with you for weeks is a real constraint on a deadline, and the desk builds its calendar around the dates you promise updated inputs by. Where a duty belongs to you and a window is lost because that duty went unmet, the responsible party is the one who held the missing item.
You also agree to keep the desk free of misleading instruction. If your firm is early in federal work and the actual record is thin, say so. A narrative built on false delivery claims would put your integrity at risk and would not survive the verification that agencies routinely run, so the desk will not draft one and will instead tell you the true story your record can support.
Accurate and Complete Data
Every deliverable the desk produces rests on the data you supply. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the source material you provide, including price sheets, entity records, references, and performance evidence. The desk performs internal consistency checks so that a figure does not contradict itself within a file, but it does not independently audit your underlying business records or verify every fact stated in a document you authorize.
Where the desk spots an obvious error, a missing page, or a figure that appears inconsistent with the schedule language, it will raise the point before filing. That review is a safeguard, not a guarantee. If a value was wrong when it left your hands and that wrongness survives to a filing, the error traces to the source, and you agree to correct it promptly through the modification process rather than letting it persist in the record.
For the past performance narratives specifically, the desk relies on the delivery facts you attest to. Keeping those facts true is your duty, and it remains true even where the desk edits the wording. The value of a narrative is that it can be verified; a client who protects that verifiable core protects the strongest asset the narrative offers.
Fees, Invoicing, and Payment
Fees for each service are stated in the specific scope or quote that accompanies an engagement. Unless the quote says otherwise, fees are quoted in United States dollars and are payable in advance for project based work, or on the schedule the scope names for a calendar or an ongoing retainer. A $0 read of the public pages is always free; the desk charges only when a client authorizes work.
Invoices are sent to the email you provide and are due by the date the invoice states, which is normally net thirty days from issue for a project that has started. Late payment may pause the active calendar and any deadline driven work until the account is current, because the desk will not let an unpaid balance quietly push a filing out of cycle. The specific scope spells out any fee that applies to a payment received after the due date.
Fees do not include payments you must make to an agency or a platform, such as an application fee, a user fee under a schedule, or any charge levied by a filing service you elect to operate yourself. If the desk makes such a payment on your behalf with your written advance approval, it will itemize the amount on the invoice so you can see the pass through separately from the desk fee.
Compliance Calendar, Modifications, and Timelines
The compliance calendar service builds a dated rail of the obligations your schedule holds. The desk delivers the calendar and its updates as part of that engagement and in doing so agrees to apply professional care in capturing the deadlines and actions it is told about and can see from the schedule language. You remain the owner of your own contractual obligations and are responsible for acting on the notifications the calendar produces within the buffer the calendar sets.
Modification work follows the same traffic rules as proposal work: the desk drafts to the current template, holds the evidence, and files or hands off under the scope. Where multiple modifications overlap on one document, the desk sequences them to keep the later file true to the earlier approval. A change you request after a draft is filed becomes a new modification subject to its own scope and fee, rather than a silent edit to a document already in the system.
Dates published in the calendar are good faith estimates built from the schedule window and the inputs you promise. Any message from the desk that a deadline is approaching is a reminder and not a substitute for your own reading of the agency notice. The desk keeps the calendar, you keep control of your signature, and the two duties together keep a file honest through its life.
Confidential Information
Confidential information means the non public business data you share with the desk for an engagement, such as pricing, cost models, reference records, and draft materials not yet public in a filing. The desk agrees to treat those materials as confidential for the term of the engagement and to use them only for the work you authorized. That protection survives the end of the relationship, and the desk will not market your price data or reuse your draft for a competitor while you remain a client.
The desk may share confidential material with a subcontractor or an outside professional only where that provider needs it to deliver your engagement and sits under a written duty to keep it confidential. A filing you direct may, by its nature, expose some materials to an agency; that exposure is expected and is not a breach because you asked for the record to be filed.
Confidential treatment does not apply to information that is already public, that you publish yourself, that arrives lawfully from a third party without a duty, or that a law or regulator requires the desk to disclose. If the desk must make a disclosure required by law, it will tell you first where the law allows and will limit the disclosure to what the demand requires.
Communications and Electronic Records
Most of the working exchange happens by email to agent@lockridgegsa.buzz or by telephone to +15808045368, with drafts shared through the desk file tools. You agree that these electronic communications satisfy any written notice requirement in these terms and that the desk may send the calendar reminders, scope updates, and invoices through the channel it holds for you.
The desk keeps the working exchange as its file record. A message you send in the evening is treated as received on the next business day, so a deadline framed around your delivery of a document counts from that next business day unless you and the desk agree on a different reading. Messages should be carried in one thread per engagement so that the record stays easy to follow and an answer does not get separated from the file it belongs to.
Where the desk needs your confirmation to proceed, that confirmation may be given by reply email, by a marked approval on a draft, or by a signature where the scope names one. A response that asks for a change is not a confirmation, and work will not begin on a changed file until the changed instruction is clear enough for the desk to act without guessing.
Intellectual Property
The materials the desk prepares for you, including a proposal narrative written for your file, a calendar built to your schedule, and a price schedule assembled for your engagement, become yours as the deliverable of the paid work. You may use them for the continuing life of your schedule without any further license fee. The desk retains no hidden claim over the client deliverable once it has been paid for.
Conversely, the tools the desk itself uses, including its internal checklists, its review sheets, its process models, and the general frames it refines across clients, remain the intellectual property of Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC. A file delivered to you is yours; the methodology that produced it is not, and it is not transferred as part of any single engagement.
The brand, the text of these pages, and this site design belong to the organization and its developer LockridgeGSA as applicable. The website content may be shown to a colleague who is considering the desk, but it may not be reproduced wholesale on another site or passed off as the work of a different firm. Brief quotation with a clear link back to the source remains allowed under ordinary fair use.
Acceptable Use of the Website
You agree to use the paid pages and the contact desk for their intended purpose and not to abuse them. That means you will not automate a flood of submissions, place the desk under a false identity, submit another person data without their permission, attempt to disrupt the site, or scrape the pages to rebuild a competing product. The public content is descriptive and personal to read; it is not a raw database meant to be harvested.
The site is provided as an informational and contact resource. Nothing on it is a quote for services on its own; a price that appears in a service section is either a non binding description or is absent by design, and a binding quote always arrives in a written response to your specific ask. Reading a page is not the same as ordering work, and no service begins until an engagement is confirmed in writing.
Where the site links an external resource, following that link leaves the operating rules of this site. The desk monitors its own pages, but it does not represent that every destination it links to shares the same standards. If a linked resource appears to be misleading or unsafe, tell the desk and the reference will be reviewed and corrected.
Disclaimers of Warranty
To the fullest extent the law allows, the site and the general information it contains are provided on an as is and as available basis. The organization disclaims implied warranties that the site will be uninterrupted, error free, or free of harmful code, and it does not warrant that every page will match the current schedule language at the exact moment you read it. Those statements mean the professional standards below, not a promise of perfection.
For a contracted deliverable, the desk does make a specific professional warranty: it will perform the work with reasonable care and skill, to the standard of a competent specialist in this field, and the delivered file will be internally consistent and prepared to the current template. That warranty is the honest limit of what any advisory desk can promise, and it is offered without the broad disclaimers that would be unfair for a paid engagement.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that the law does not permit to be excluded, such as liability for fraud, for injury caused by negligence where a statute forbids the disclaimer, or for a duty that cannot lawfully be waived. Where such a rule applies, that single requirement controls and the rest of this section is read as far as the law permits it to operate.
Your Indemnity Obligations
You agree to defend and hold harmless Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC and its developer LockridgeGSA from claims that arise from the conduct of your business, from the data you supply, or from your use of a deliverable beyond the scope for which it was prepared. This obligation covers a claim that a price list you supplied was inaccurate, that a reference you attested to was false, or that you misused a narrative after delivery.
In practice this means that if a third party brings a claim grounded in your own factual error, your firm, not the desk, bears the weight of the defense and any resulting award, to the extent the error traces to your source material rather than to a drafting failure by the desk. The desk will give you prompt notice of a claim, will allow you to control the defense, and will cooperate without incurring an unreasonable cost.
This section does not shift responsibility for the wrongs of the desk itself. If a claim arises because the desk drafted a document in a way that contradicted the true evidence you provided, the indemnity does not reach that failure, and responsibility stays where the fault is. The indemnity is drawn narrowly so that it protects against your own acts and not against the desk own error.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, the aggregate liability of Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC for all claims arising out of or related to the site or a single engagement will not exceed the amount you paid the desk for that engagement. This cap reflects the reality that the desk fees for a small contractor are modest and that neither party benefits from a theory that exposes the desk to open ended damages far above the value of the file it prepared.
Neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost opportunity, even where the party was told that such damages were possible. For a small contractor the loss of a particular award is exactly the kind of secondary loss this clause reaches, and the desk states it expressly so that the expectation is clear before work starts.
The caps and exclusions in this section do not apply to a claim the law does not permit to be limited, including claims for death or personal injury caused by negligence where a statute forbids the limit, and claims of fraud. Where the law sets a different floor that cannot be waived, that statutory minimum controls over this section for the specific claim it protects.
Termination and Suspension
Either party may end an engagement on written notice where the other party materially breaches these terms and fails to cure the breach within a reasonable period stated in the notice. A material breach includes failing to pay an invoice, refusing to provide data the scope plainly requires, or submitting material that is knowingly false after a request to correct it has gone unanswered.
On termination the desk will deliver the work completed to the point of termination, you will pay for that completed work at the rate or the portion the scope names, and each party will return or delete the confidential materials of the other without retaining a competing copy. Work in a filing pipeline is handed over in a usable state rather than left stranded in a draft bin.
The sections that by their nature should survive, including the confidential information, intellectual property, warranty disclaimer, indemnity, limitation of liability, dispute, and general terms, continue after an engagement ends. Ending one file does not remove the duties that protect the other party long after the last invoice is settled.
Disputes and Governing Law
This agreement is governed by the law of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Utah for any dispute that is not resolved informally. The desk operates from West Jordan, Utah, and that forum is the natural and convenient one for the records to be examined.
Before any suit is filed, the parties agree to try to resolve a dispute informally. The party raising a concern will write to the other describing the issue, and the parties will make a good faith attempt to settle it within thirty days, including a review of the relevant file and the invoice. Many disputes of this kind are a mismatch of expectation rather than a wrong, and a plain conversation often clears them.
The desk does not charge a fee to discuss a billing confusion or a delivery question raised in good faith. Only where informal resolution fails and the dispute is not one a small claims process can hear does the governing law and forum of this section take effect. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief where a delay would cause immediate and irreparable harm.
Changes to These Terms
The organization may revise these terms from time to time to reflect its practice, the law, and the shape of the services. When a change is material, the revised version is posted on this page with a new effective date at the top, and continuing use of the site or a new engagement after that date counts as acceptance of the updated terms.
A change does not rewrite an engagement that is already signed. Work started under an earlier version of these terms continues under that version unless both parties agree in writing to adopt the new one. New requests made after the effective date, including a request that extends an existing calendar, are governed by the current version at the time the new work begins.
Material revisions are described in a short note so a returning client is not forced to reread every line to learn what moved. Non material edits, such as a corrected address, a clarification that matches existing practice, or a formatting clean up, may be applied without that dedicated notice and are shown only by the updated effective date.
General and Miscellaneous Terms
If a court holds that any part of these terms is unenforceable, that part will be read down to the narrowest reading that makes it enforceable, and the remaining parts will continue in full force. A failure by either party to enforce a term is not a waiver of that term and does not stop later enforcement. These terms, together with the privacy policy and any signed engagement document, are the whole agreement between the parties about this site and this work.
The desk may delegate some performance to a qualified subcontractor, but it remains responsible for the deliverable it agreed to produce. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, an agency, a joint venture, or an employment relationship between you and Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC, and neither party has authority to bind the other beyond the specific engagement. Headings in these terms are for convenience and do not change the meaning of the sections they introduce.
Notices to you may be sent to the email address you provide, and notices to the desk may be sent to the contact details in the section below. Either party may change its notice address by telling the other, and a notice is effective when it is sent to the current address. These general terms are meant to be read generously and plainly, and where a sentence is hard to understand, the desk will answer a question about it rather than rely on a corner of language that was never intended to carry the load.
Contacting Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC
To raise a question, to request a copy of these terms as they apply to your engagement, or to begin the informal dispute step described above, write to agent@lockridgegsa.buzz or call +15808045368. Postal correspondence may be sent to Lockridge GSA Solutions LLC, 7533 S Center View Ct, West Jordan - 84084-5526, United States (US). A message that names the engagement and the date is answered fastest.
The desk answers email and telephone inquiries during the hours shown on the contact page and returns a call made outside those hours on the next business day. If you send a message that includes a copy of a draft or an invoice, the desk will keep it confidential under the confidential information section and will use it only to help you.
Questions about the difference between the general terms and a signed scope are welcome and are answered in the same channel. The desk would rather clarify a section than see a client guess at its meaning, and a question about these terms never counts against a file or an invoice. These terms are maintained under the direction of the developer LockridgeGSA.
