Blanket Purchase Agreement N6817123A6000

The Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Astaroth Desarrollos SL to procure stevedore services in Spain. Under the terms of this agreement and subsequent calls issued, Astaroth Desarrollos SL provides loading and unloading of cargo and supplies for various Navy vessels during port visits. Performance periods for individual calls range from one day to one month, with values from approximately $2,800 to $11,900. Places of performance include ports in Spain. As the Navy's personnel bureau, this agreement enables the agency to efficiently support operations abroad by utilizing local contractors for material handling and transport associated with ships' resupply and maintenance needs over the course of their missions. No set-aside provisions or subcontracting arrangements are specified in the calls awarded to date.

The calls issued against this agreement provide stevedore services for vessels including aircraft carriers USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Harry S. Truman as well as cruisers USS Vicksburg and USS Chancellorsville. Duties likely include loading and discharge of equipment, munitions, fuel, and provisions to sustain shipboard functions. As no major subcontractors are identified, Astaroth Desarrollos SL serves as the prime contractor responsible for delivering all required cargo handling through internal resources. The services procured support the Navy's global operations by facilitating maintenance and resupply of vessels abroad.
