Blanket Purchase Agreement 19CA4521A0001

This Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the Department of State US Consulate Montreal as a multiple-award contract set to procure postage services. With a potential value of $2,500, the agreement enables ordering activities to acquire postage from the prime contractor, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees doing business as Federal Egov IAE Initiative - Generic Entity Identifier, through individual task orders issued against the agreement's terms and conditions. Orders for postage may be placed through the end date of September 30, 2021 to support mailroom functions at the Consulate. As a multiple-award contract with no set-aside designation, the agreement aims to establish competitive pricing for routine postage needs while granting ordering activities flexibility to obtain postage services directly from the prime contractor on an as-needed basis.

This Blanket Purchase Agreement functions as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle through which the Department of State US Consulate Montreal can acquire postage services from the prime contractor to support its mailroom operations. By establishing the agreement from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021, the Consulate gains a streamlined method for procuring postage as a commonly recurring expense. The multiple-award structure also allows the Consulate to consider alternative sources among agreement holders and obtain additional quotes on individual orders to help ensure competitive pricing over the life of the contract.
