Purchase Order AG32SBP150108

On March 19, 2015, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, awarded a purchase order to MBA Office Supply, Inc., a woman-owned, minority-owned small business based in Santa Clara, California. This firm fixed-price purchase order, with a ceiling value of $48,079.45 and an ultimate completion date of July 19, 2015, was issued for multiple office supply items related to June area and objective yield initiatives. The contract carried no set-aside designation and was performed at the vendor's location in San Jose, California. NASS, which collects and analyzes agricultural data to support farm policy and market decisions, relies on vendors like MBA Office Supply for essential operational supplies needed to conduct its statistical programs and surveys.

MBA Office Supply holds a substantial Blanket Purchase Agreement with the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, valued at $3,991,021 and extending through September 2026, which facilitates this and similar task orders across federal civilian agencies. The vendor's established registration in SAM.gov since 2002 and its classification as both a woman-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business underscore its positioning within the federal procurement marketplace. The purchase order represents a typical procurement transaction under this broader BPA vehicle, enabling NASS to efficiently acquire necessary office supplies and equipment to support its agricultural statistics mission.
