140R2023Q0011 – WCO Lab Calibrations Questions & Answers
1. Question: What will be the frequency/Interval of call orders? Will they be placed monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, etc.?
Answer: A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is an agreement rather than a contract. It is used when the government is planning for a possible requirement, but is not sure if, when, or how much might be needed. Because a BPA is an agreement there is no requirement for the government to create call orders and no requirement for the business to perform if/when a call order is created. The BPA is being set up to make the order process efficient if/when it occurs.

Answer: ASTM Standards take precedence when they exist with ASTM standards for CCRL and
AASHTO: resource Tests being of the highest order. If ASTM standards do not exist, then
Manufactures recommendations may be used. When no standards exist, the testing laboratory may exercise their prudent judgement to determine/document an appropriate standard.
