The Department of State awarded DHL International B.s.c., a division of Deutsche Post AG, a blanket purchase agreement to provide overseas contract services in Afghanistan. Four call orders were placed against this agreement for delivery of unspecified products and services in support of the Department's operations. The calls have values ranging from $10,000 to $31,240 and periods of performance from February 2021 through August 2021. The place of performance for all calls is Afghanistan. No set-aside provisions were applied to these orders under the multiple award agreement.

Through this blanket purchase agreement and associated call orders, the Department of State aims to procure international logistics and transportation support for its diplomatic missions and programs in Afghanistan. As a global logistics firm with an extensive in-country network, DHL International B.s.c. is well positioned to deliver supplies and services to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and other locations within Afghanistan through August 2021 utilizing its global supply chain infrastructure. The agreement and calls allow the Department to utilize a pre-competed contracting vehicle for procuring time-sensitive support and solutions for its operations throughout the country.
