Blanket Purchase Agreement N3654A10A3003

This Blanket Purchase Agreement between the Defense Intelligence Agency and Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees facilitates the rapid procurement of vehicle leasing and transportation services in support of overseas operations. Task orders issued against the BPA call between June 2010 through March 2012 totaled over $480,000 and provided various sport utility vehicles, trucks, and drivers in Ethiopia and Djibouti. Deliverables included five-passenger and seven-passenger SUVs, both with and without V8 engines, for use in intelligence operations in Awassa, Ethiopia and other locations. As a foreign entity, no set-aside designation was applied to the IDV award or subsequent task orders. The BPA established pricing and terms for recurring transportation needs abroad, allowing the agency to efficiently order the required assets and services.

The vehicles and drivers were intended to enable mobility in the stated countries for the Defense Intelligence Agency personnel supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. The places of performance indicate the contract aimed to meet transportation requirements at agency facilities and areas of responsibility in the East African nations of Ethiopia and Djibouti, where the United States maintains strategic intelligence assets. The period of performance and task order descriptions suggest the BPA was designed to provide consistent access to vehicles and local transportation expertise as needed over an extended timeframe in these overseas locations.
