C.2 BPA ORDER RFQ INTRODUCTORY LANGUAGE

The terms and conditions of the contractor's BPA (including any agreement modifications) apply to task or delivery orders issued under the Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), otherwise called the agreement, as a result of this RFQ. When a lower price has been established, or when the delivery terms, FOB terms, or ordering requirements have been modified by the task/delivery order, those modified terms will apply to all purchases made pursuant to it and take precedence over the Agreement. Any unique terms and conditions of an order issued under the agreement that are not already part of the agreement, will govern. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms and conditions of a BPA and task/delivery order terms, other than those identified above, the terms of the BPA will take precedence.
