Blanket Purchase Agreement GS07F0228M-HSCG2311APUD676

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to Propper International Sales, Inc. on March 2, 2011, for the procurement of Polartec Power Shield parka liners with a ceiling value of $4.86 million and ultimate completion date of December 31, 2012. The parka liners are manufactured from a fabric composition of 70% polyester and 30% nylon, engineered to deliver 98% windproof protection, water-repellent properties, breathability, and stretch capability. The BPA established a five-year ordering structure with a base year and four option years, each authorizing procurement of 2,448 units, for a total quantity of 12,240 parka liners across the contract period. Minimum order quantities were set at 1,224 units with a maximum order of 12,240 units, and the first production lot equaled the minimum order quantity with 75 jackets designated for first article testing. Contract performance included site visits for physical inspection, with product distribution managers shipping materials to a designated point of contact.

Six task orders were issued against this BPA between March 2011 and August 2012, totaling approximately $1.20 million in call order values, representing closeout and final delivery activities under the agreement. The task orders, all priced on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside provisions, specified places of performance at St. Peters, Missouri and Weldon Spring, Missouri, with ultimate completion dates established at March 1, 2014. These final call orders reflect the wind-down and closeout phase of the BPA as the Coast Guard completed its procurement requirements for the Polartec Power Shield parka liner inventory during the contract's final operational period.
