The Federal Acquisition Service of the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to American Packaging I, Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Auburn, New York. The BPA, valued at over $87,000, enables the GSA to efficiently acquire a wide range of packaging products and materials from the contractor to support the agency's Global Supply program. The task orders issued under this BPA, with fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing, cover textile bags, paper bags, and other barrier materials that meet military specifications such as MIL-PRF-5038 and MIL-PRF-131K. The contract does not utilize any set-asides, although the vendor's small business and woman-owned status is noted. Through this indefinite-delivery vehicle, American Packaging I, Inc. plays a crucial role in supporting the GSA's global supply chain by providing specialized packaging solutions as needed across various federal agencies.

The contract includes numerous fixed-price task orders for the delivery of textile and paper bags of varying sizes, styles, and specifications to the GSA. The products are used to package and transport a range of government supplies and materials, with a focus on items that must adhere to strict military standards. The contract is not set aside for any particular business category, but the contractor's status as a woman-owned small business is highlighted. The task orders, which are issued against the contractor's Multiple Award Schedule contract, typically range from under $100 to several thousand dollars in value and have performance periods from one week to over a month.
