Blanket Purchase Agreement N6847523A0008

The Department of the Navy Reserve awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement to the Army & Air Force Exchange Service to provide temporary lodging and berthing services in support of Navy Reserve activities. As the prime contractor, AAFES will deliver accommodations for service members participating in duty training in Springfield, Missouri from October 13-15, 2023 under a firm fixed-price call contract valued at $2,217.87. Additionally, AAFES will provide berthing at its Combined Bachelors Housing facility in Gulfport, Mississippi through September 30, 2023 under a separate firm fixed-price call contract valued at $455. Both orders were placed against the BPA, which has a potential value of $250,000 and runs through September 30, 2023. The Department of the Navy Reserve is the contracting agency, and no set-aside designations were applied. AAFES will leverage facilities in Fort Worth, Texas and Gulfport, Mississippi to fulfill temporary lodging and berthing requirements for Navy Reserve personnel as they conduct operational training missions.

The blanket purchase agreement aims to procure temporary accommodations services for Navy Reserve members on duty throughout fiscal year 2023. By establishing this BPA with AAFES, the Navy Reserve gains a flexible ordering vehicle to support diverse lodging needs for personnel as they conduct operational training nationwide. AAFES is well-positioned as the prime contractor given its existing infrastructure providing exchange and housing facilities to service members. The BPA and initial calls allow the Navy Reserve to house trainees and berth sailors cost-effectively while fulfilling its critical readiness mission.
