Blanket Purchase Agreement SMA10017A0010

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency awarded a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees for services in support of the APPel program. The BPA establishes terms and conditions for the rapid procurement of language interpretation, vehicle maintenance, IT equipment, and healthcare staffing at U.S. embassies, consulates, and missions abroad. Task orders will be issued on an as-needed basis through individual price lists established under the IDV. The agreement took effect on October 31, 2016 for one year with an estimated value of $0, though the multiple IDV awards allow customers flexibility to meet emerging requirements. As a foreign entity, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees will perform under the BPA at locations supporting U.S. defense cooperation objectives globally.

The BPA was competitively awarded to facilitate rapid acquisition of commonly required goods and services by U.S. government organizations operating internationally. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency will leverage the IDV to equip personnel with necessary language translation, logistical support, technology, and medical resources as they implement programs like APPel in foreign countries. Establishing pre-negotiated terms with qualified contractors like Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees streamlines procurement and ensures customer agencies have effective solutions in place to accomplish their missions abroad.
