Additional Information/Notes

DESCRIPTION

A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) will be established for delivery of Rock Products to Mountain Home AFB and surrounding ranges. A BPA is not a binding contract but an agreement; thus, prices must be set prior to any orders being placed against the BPA. Additionally, either party has the choice to terminate or re-negotiate an agreement provided a 30-day notification is given. The Government reserves the right to add/delete vendors at any time throughout the life of the BPA. BPAs period of performance is usually for a five-year period unless terminated by either party or the BPA Master dollar limit has been met. Each order under the BPA, which may also be referenced as calls, will not exceed $250,000.00.

The Government intends to award two (2) or more BPAs. At the Governments discretion, the Government reserves the right to select more than two

(2) Offerors or less than two (2) Offerors for the establishment of the BPAs. The agreement is issued for exclusive acquisition of the items for delivery rather than re-issuing a solicitation as the rock products are needed.

----Vendors are allowed to quote on some or all products, resulting in the multiple award BPA.

The delivery orders will be a firm-fixed contract.

The Government POC (contact person) and WAWF (invoice) instructions will be issued on each BPA Delivery Call (purchase order).
