TO: All Prospective Offerors

FROM: Daniel E. Abert, Contracting Officer

SUBJECT: Establishment of Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Foreclosure Services

1. My office proposes to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Foreclosure Services; services desired are contained in the attached SF 1449 Solicitation, Performance Work Statement (PWS), and Pricing Schedule Worksheet (PSW). BPA is not a binding contract, they are agreements, and as agreements, prices must be set prior to any orders being placed against the BPA.

Additionally, since it is an agreement and not a contract, either party may choose to terminate an agreement provided a 30-day notification is given.

2. If you are interested in establishing a BPA with my office, please complete the attached PSW for any and all services your company can provide, do not add any items to the list other than those in the PSW directions. Your prices should be as low as, or lower than those charged your most favored customers, including any discounts for prompt payment and delivery. My office will establish multiple BPAs for Foreclosure Services. Who is actually chosen for the agreement will be determined and based on S.A.M. Registration, Contractor Responsibility, and pricing. I cannot stress enough, include your best pricing terms. Furthermore, pricing for the initial year of this agreement shall not be revised unless authorized by a Contracting Officer.

3. Return the attached PSW with your pricing to my attention no later than May 11, 2018 4:00 p.m. MST.

4. Pricing schedules can be emailed to: Daniel.abert@co.usda.gov. Should you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to email me or call me at 720 544-2914. Thank you for your support of Appraisal Services from the USDA Rural Development Colorado office.
