The anticipated acquisition will result in a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract line items. The contract will have an ordering period of five (5) years. Interested vendors should be aware that a valid Qatari Commercial Registration is required to perform work in Qatar and prior to receiving BPA award. This requirement applies to all vendors and sub-contractors. The registration can take 2-6 months to obtain if your company is not already registered. Foreign Vendors, including US businesses may apply for Commercial Registration. Companies must contact the Qatari Ministry of

Justice to obtain Commercial Registration. Approval and issuance is outside the control of the US

Government.

As the US Government continually adapts and changes, the requirements for a vendor to conduct business with the US Government changes as well. Vendors shall be registered in Joint Contingency Contract

System (JCCS). The vendor will have up to 6 months after award to be fully registered in JCCS. Please visit https://www.jccs.gov/jccsng/Vendor/Resources for more information.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
