1.0 The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) discovers, shapes, and champions basic science that profoundly impacts the future Air Force. As a part of the Air Force Research

Laboratory (AFRL), AFOSR funds more than 1,500 basic research programs, collaborating with leading scientists and engineers throughout the world to identify breakthrough opportunities in basic research.

2.0.1 Meeting Room Space

A. Attendees – approximately 50 - 120 attendees per day

B. Room Set-up - Classroom is preferred, but a mix of classroom and theater to fit smaller rooms, if required, is appropriate

D. Noise Ordinance - It is preferred to not have noise from neighboring meetings or construction bleed over to AFOSR meeting space

BETWEEN AFOSR AND ______________

FROM: Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR)

Laura A. Peters, Contracting Officer

875 N. Randolph St., Arlington, VA 22203

SUBJECT: CONTRACTOR INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDANCE FOR USING A BLANKET

PURCHASE AGREEMENT (BPA)

Your company ____________________has been issued BPA FA9550-12-A- to provide

“Meeting Support Services” for AFOSR for a base period of eight (8) months with the option to exercise four (4) additional one year options, the Period of Performance (POP) will end

December 31, 2016 not to exceed 56 months. Therefore, to expedite payment to you and aid in record keeping for the government, the following instructions and guidance are given for the use of decentralized BPA’s for this office:

SECTION I - INTRODUCING THE BPA

1. A Blanket Purchase Agreement, or BPA, is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing "charge accounts" with qualified sources of supply. BPA's are designed to reduce administrative costs in accomplishing small purchases by eliminating the need for issuing individual purchase documents. In other words, the Government uses BPA's when we know the we will need a basic requirement over and over, but can't say for sure when or how many of the supplies/services will be required.

2. A BPA is an agreement between the government and a contractor which sets the stage to purchase something quickly. All of the conditions of sale are negotiated when the BPA is initially established, so the contractor knows up front the kind of supplies/service the

Government will be purchasing, and know how much it's going to cost for each supplies/service we buy.

3. BPA's are often "decentralized" and when designated Contracting representatives are authorized as Government Purchase Card holders to issue BPA calls against this BPA for any purchase under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $25,000. As a Contracting representative for the Government, they determine the necessary requirements, and place the call to the contractor to request delivery of supplies /services.

SECTION II – BPA TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Description of agreement. A Statement that the supplier shall furnish supplies or services, described in general terms, if and when requested by the Contracting Officer (or the authorized representative of the Contracting Officer) during a specified period and within a stipulated aggregate amount, if any.

2. Extent of obligation. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under the above mentioned BPA.

3. Purchase limitation. The dollar limit for each call shall not exceed $25,000.00. Any requirements over $25,000 will be placed through a Purchase Order signed by a Contracting

Officer.

4. Individuals authorized to purchase under the BPA. The Contracting Officer will provide the contractor a list of individuals authorized to place calls/orders under this agreement. If a call is not made by an individual listed on the authorized list, the call will be at the sole responsibility of the contractor.

5. Receipts/invoices. All meeting support services shall be written (hard copy or secured email) and contain the following minimum information:

a. Name of supplier.

b. BPA number.

c. Date of purchase.

d. Purchase number.

e. Itemized list of supplies or services furnished.

f. Quantity, unit price, and extension of each item, less applicable discounts

6. BPA Calls will be paid by Government Purchase Card (GPC) through an authorized GPC holder (see GPC authorized list) unless the total dollar amount exceeds the $25,000 threshold at which time a Purchase Order will be written by the Contracting Office and signed by the Contracting Officer.

7. A summary invoice shall be submitted at least monthly or upon expiration of this BPA, whichever occurs first, for all purchases made during a billing period, identifying the receipts covered therein, stating their total dollar value.

Your invoice must include the following:

a. Company name and address

b. Invoice date and number

c. Contract number, contract line item number and, if applicable, the order number

d. Description, quantity, unit of measure, unit price.

e. Shipping number and date of shipment, including the bill of lading number and weight of shipment if shipped on Government bill of lading

f. Terms of any discount for prompt payment offered

g. Name and address of official to whom payment is to be sent

h. Name, title, and phone number of person to notify in event of defective invoice

i. Electronic funds transfer (EFT) banking information (if you request payment by EFT and the paying CPTS can accommodate EFT payments)

The contractor’s invoice (with an acceptance signature from the customer) are necessary for the files. It is the Contractor Responsibility to submit a monthly invoice.

2.2 Pricing Information: All pricing information shall be addressed in the Price Sheet attached to the RFP. All dollar amounts provided in response to these instructions shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Offeror should clearly identify the date range that the prices are valid for, and include both peak and non-peak pricing.

2.4 Relevant Past Performance: All Offerors should fill out the relevant portion of the Past Performance questionnaire attached to the RFP. Provide at least three relevant references. Past performance will be evaluated on a combination of Past Performance relevancy and how well the contractor performed on the contract. These combined will provide a Performance Confidence Assessment. Both these questionnaires and the Contracting Officer’s knowledge of and previous experience with the service being acquired will be used to assess how well the contractor performed in the past.

2.4.1 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings:

a. Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

b. Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

b. Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

c. Limited Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

d. No Confidence: Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

e. Unknown Confidence (neutral): No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonable assigned.

2.4.3 Current and Relevant Contracts. Submit information on up to three contracts or BPAs that you consider current and relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. Current is defined as work that is ongoing or was completed in the last three years from, and for which the work began at least 6 months prior to, the date of this solicitation issuance.

2.4.4 No Applicable Past Performance Information. If an offeror has no current or relevant past performance information they should state such in their proposal. The absence of any applicable past performance will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably and will result in an Unknown Confidence rating. However, the government reserves the right to determine whether any relevant past performance information exists and is relevant notwithstanding the alleged absence thereof by any Offeror.

2.5 The offeror's proposal shall include a signed SF1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items. Completion of block 17a and b, and blocks 30a-c.

Any exceptions to the solicitation's terms and conditions must be fully explained and justified.

1.3 Number of Contracts to be Awarded

The Government intends to award multiple BPAs. However, the Government reserves the right to award no BPAs at all depending on the quality of proposal(s) submitted and availability of funds.

1.4 Rejection of Unrealistic Offers

The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of requirement commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in cost when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or a failure to comprehend (over or under interpret) the complexity and risks of the requirement.

1.5 Correction Potential of Proposals

The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of any deficiency or proposal inadequacy.

2.3 Factor and Subfactor Rating

The government will use a comparative evaluation of all offers to determine whether the proposals are acceptable or unacceptable.

2.3.1 Past performance will be evaluated on a combination of Past Performance relevancy and how well the contractor performed on the contract.
