Blanket Purchase Agreement N3654A10A3000

The Defense Intelligence Agency awarded a single award blanket purchase agreement to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees to procure leased vehicles. The potential value of the agreement is $480,000. Task orders issued against the agreement by the Defense Intelligence Agency involve the lease of sport utility vehicles and passenger vehicles valued between approximately $5,000 to $95,000 for use in supporting operations in Ethiopia and Djibouti. Vehicles provided through task orders issued between 2010 and 2012 include seven-passenger SUVs, five-passenger SUVs, and similar vehicles. Pricing is on a firm-fixed-price basis for task order periods typically ranging from one month to one year. As a foreign entity, no set-aside designation is used for awards issued to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees.

The blanket purchase agreement and subsequent task orders aim to streamline the Defense Intelligence Agency's procurement of recurring transportation needs for its activities conducted overseas through local vendors. Providing leased vehicles appears to help enable intelligence operations for the Defense Intelligence Agency in the Horn of Africa region, with a focus on Ethiopia and Djibouti, where the United States maintains military presences.
