The Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Blanchard Industrial Supplies, Inc., a Troy, New York-based woman-owned small business. The BPA, valued at up to $3 million, streamlines the acquisition of industrial abrasives, cutting tools, carbide products, coolants, machinery, and tooling vital to maintenance and repair of ground combat vehicles and weapon systems for the Watervliet Arsenal.
Under the BPA, the Command issues firm fixed-price calls ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars for specific products like inserts, reamers, mills, lifting devices, fixtures, and miscellaneous tooling. Some task orders utilize small business set-asides, while others are open to all vendors. Blanchard Industrial Supplies leverages its extensive inventory and expertise in industrial consumables to ensure critical equipment remains mission-ready at the Arsenal. The BPA provides the Command flexibility and agility in its logistics operations while meeting key socioeconomic contracting goals.
