Blanket Purchase Agreement N3654A11A2000

The Defense Intelligence Agency awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees to provide prepaid phone cards for cellular service. Two task orders were placed against the agreement for the purchase of prepaid phone cards in denominations of 2000 and 5000, as well as SIM cards, for use by the Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa. The first task order, issued in April 2012 for $31,549.42, was for 2000 prepaid phone cards to support operations in Djibouti. The second, issued in June 2011 for $51,210.08, procured 500, 2000 and 5000 prepaid phone cards as well as SIM cards for the same end user in Djibouti. Blanket purchase agreements establish terms and conditions for the recurring purchase of services or supplies at predetermined prices during a specified contract period. These task orders facilitated rapid acquisition of telecommunications assets for the Combined Joint Task Force's counterterrorism, security cooperation and humanitarian assistance mission in the Horn of Africa region.
