Univar B.V., a child entity, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the United States Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (USAF DFAS) on October 13, 2015, for the procurement of runway de-icer products with a ceiling value of $1,000,000.00. The agreement was not set aside for any specific business category and remained in effect until May 31, 2019. As a Blanket Purchase Agreement, this indefinite delivery vehicle established a standing contract mechanism allowing the Air Force to issue individual task orders against the agreement as operational requirements dictated, without the need for additional competitive procurement actions for each order.
Two task orders were issued under this Blanket Purchase Agreement, both for de-icer fluids performed at locations in the United Kingdom. The first task order, awarded on January 19, 2017, procured Clearway 3 Liquid De-Icer Fluid in bulk with a ceiling value of $95,658.89 and a completion date of January 26, 2017. The second task order, awarded on February 16, 2018, covered Clearway 3 and Clearway 6 de-icers with a ceiling value of $53,840.44 and a completion date of February 26, 2018. Both task orders were structured as Firm Fixed Price contracts with no set-asides applied. These procurements supported United States Air Force operations by ensuring the availability of specialized runway de-icing materials necessary for aircraft operations at United Kingdom-based facilities.
