20. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (BPAs)
The use of BPSs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services is allowable.

22. INSTALLATION, DE-INSTALLATION, RE-INSTALLATION
The Davis -Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the
United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no la-borer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall receive less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor.
The requirements of the Davis -Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration, or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis - Bacon Act applies. The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis -Bacon Act.
23. SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE
I certify that in accordance with 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d), FAR
39.2, and the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and Information

b) The following statement:
