Blanket Purchase Agreement 19CB6020A0010

This Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded as a multiple-award contract by the Department of State Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. It provides facilities and maintenance supplies to support government operations. Esri Panama SA is the prime contractor performing under the agreement. With a potential value of $0.00 and a period of performance from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, the BPA aimed to establish fixed pricing and terms for the procurement of various facilities support goods on an as-needed basis to aid the Bureau in its work in the specified regions. Details on associated task orders or price lists were not provided in the solicitation materials. However, based on the description, it can be inferred that the BPA was intended to streamline the acquisition of routine facilities maintenance, repair, and operation supplies.

The Department of State Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs maintains a presence in various locations across its area of responsibility and relies on support contracts to help sustain its operations. This Blanket Purchase Agreement established an efficient mechanism for the Bureau to obtain necessary facilities supplies and services from Esri Panama SA on a recurring basis, thereby reducing procurement lead times and administrative costs compared to issuing numerous small purchase orders. The use of a multiple-award BPA also enabled some level of competition between pre-qualified contractors at the task order level within the scope of the base agreement.
