Blanket Purchase Agreement 12453B18A0019

Wettaw, Sarah Appraisal Company, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service North Carolina State Office effective October 26, 2017, with an ultimate completion date of March 28, 2019. The contract has a ceiling value of $150,000.00 and establishes an indefinite delivery vehicle for the provision of residential property appraisals to be used in loan making, servicing, acquisition, and sale activities. All appraisals are to be submitted to the requesting office within ten business days of order receipt, or as otherwise negotiated by the ordering official. Work is performed in Mooresville, North Carolina, with the contract funded entirely by the civilian agency Rural Housing Service.

Execution of the Blanket Purchase Agreement generated thirteen task orders issued between November 2017 and March 2019, all priced on a firm fixed-price basis. Task orders ranged from $200 to $425 per individual contract appraisal call and were set aside exclusively for small business concerns, with one call receiving a partial small business set-aside. Individual task orders identified specific borrowers and properties within North Carolina for which appraisals were required to support the Rural Housing Service's loan operations. The cumulative value of documented task orders approximates $5,100, representing a portion of the contract's $150,000 ceiling. The contract structure enabled the government agency to efficiently procure appraisal services on an as-needed basis while maintaining established pricing and contractor performance standards.
