Blanket Purchase Agreement FA449724A0017

This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command to Matthews International Corporation, a manufacturer of memorialization products and services for funeral homes and cemeteries. The BPA, valued at $250,000, is for the delivery of caskets, urns, and shipping containers to support the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations (AFMAO) program.

Under the BPA, Matthews International's Bronze Division will manufacture and deliver a variety of bronze memorial products such as plaques, markers, and medallions to be placed at VA national cemeteries. This is likely part of a larger $141 million indefinite delivery contract Matthews holds with the VA's National Cemetery Administration for these types of memorial items. The current $61,837 firm-fixed-price task order is for miscellaneous service and trade equipment, with a period of performance through September 2024. The contract does not utilize any small business set-asides and the work will be performed at Matthews' facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
