The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement to Franconia Real Estate Services, Inc., doing business as Remax Allegiance Relocation Services. Under the BPA, Remax Allegiance will provide employee relocation support services to the Agricultural Research Service, Agency for International Development, Foreign Market Access Division, and Travel Policy & Systems Branch. Services include entitlement counseling, expense management, and closing assistance to support employee moves. Two call orders were placed against the BPA totaling $22,350 to deliver these services. The first call for $0 has a period of performance through September 15, 2023 in Woodbridge, Virginia. The second call for $22,350 runs from September 16, 2023 through September 15, 2024, also in Woodbridge, Virginia. Both calls utilize a firm fixed price arrangement and were awarded without a set-aside against Franconia Real Estate's Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle. The BPA and associated call orders aim to procure employee relocation services to assist the USDA Agricultural Research Service in conducting agricultural research and development programs in support of American agriculture.

The Department of Agriculture established this Blanket Purchase Agreement to streamline the acquisition of recurring employee relocation services needs across multiple internal offices. The BPA and subsequent call orders placed against it provide Remax Allegiance Relocation Services with an avenue to assist the USDA Agricultural Research Service, Agency for International Development, Foreign Market Access Division, and Travel Policy & Systems Branch in supporting employee moves up to a total value of $22,350. Franconia Real Estate Services was awarded the BPA and calls due to their existing Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle with GSA, allowing for an efficient ordering process.
