In the spirit of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act, US Customs and Border Protection intends to enter into a single award blanket purchase agreement (BPA).

Contractor Teaming Arrangements are permitted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.303.

Authorized Ordering Officials Authorized ordering officials include the contracting officer (CO), contracting officer’s representative (COR) and only CBP personnel authorized in writing by the CO.

The BPA will have a total ceiling amount of $999,999.99. Individual delivery orders (DO) issued against this BPA will not exceed $250,000.00.

Extent of Obligation The Government is obligated only to the extent of duly authorized purchases under the BPA.
