About this IDV

The Social Security Administration (SSA) established a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Automation Aids Inc. (AAI), a for-profit federal contractor based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, effective August 5, 2021, through August 4, 2026. The BPA carries a ceiling value of $4.0 million and is structured with a one-year base period followed by four optional one-year renewal periods. Awarded without set-aside designation through AAI's General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract, this BPA provides the SSA with a streamlined procurement vehicle for acquiring headsets and related audio equipment to support operational requirements across the agency's offices. The contractor maintains its place of performance at its Horsham, Pennsylvania facility and operates under firm fixed-price terms. No competitive restrictions apply to the award, positioning AAI as a sole-source supplier under this particular vehicle.

Three BPA call orders have been executed under this master agreement between August 2021 and May 2023, totaling approximately $111.1 million in headset procurements. The initial call order, awarded August 23, 2021, valued at $67,728.00, supported the SSA's Office of Hearing Operations. A subsequent call order issued November 18, 2022, for $32,636.43, covered the purchase of 771 headsets to support broader agency operations. A third call order awarded May 26, 2023, valued at $10,751.82, procured wired headsets for continued operational needs. Each call order maintained firm fixed-price structures and no set-aside designations. The BPA serves as a critical procurement instrument enabling the SSA to efficiently acquire communication equipment necessary for its hearing operations, administrative functions, and ongoing workplace infrastructure requirements without repeated competitive solicitations.
