2) Extent of Obligation:

The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under the BPA. The Federal Government is exempt from applicable taxes as determined by the state.

3) Purchase Limits:

Prior to the initiation of a BPA Call, the Rice Lake NWR is required to verify the remaining purchasing capacity of the agreement.

Minimum amount per BPA call (order): $20.00

Authorized purchase card users shall ensure that credit card purchases do not exceed the applicable micro-purchase threshold. As of the current guidance, the micro-purchase threshold is $2,500.00 for services. Micro-purchase thresholds are subject to change in accordance with authorized revisions to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), specifically FAR 2.101, and are contingent upon final determinations made by the U.S. Department of Interior and U.S.

BPA Calls (Below the Micro-Purchase Threshold)

The Government Purchase Card (GPC) may be used to pay for services in amounts less than the micro purchase threshold (MPT) (ref. section 3. Purchase Limits and guidance below).

Authorized purchase card users shall ensure that credit card purchases do not exceed the applicable micro-purchase threshold for services. As of the current guidance, the micro-purchase threshold is $2,500.00 for services. Micro-purchase thresholds are subject to change in accordance with authorized revisions to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), specifically FAR 2.101, and are contingent upon final determinations made by the U.S. Department of Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Authorized purchase card users are responsible for verifying the most current thresholds prior to initiating any procurement action.

Prior to purchasing, authorized purchase card users are required to verify the remaining purchasing capacity of this agreement. All purchases are considered “calls” off the applicable BPA. Please refer to the DOI Purchase Card Policy for additional information relating to payment and record keeping.

BPA Calls (Above the Micro-Purchase Threshold)

A Program Purchase Request (PPR) must be submitted in MySupport such that a warranted CO can make the purchase. The PPR must include a brief statement of work for the current need, an independent government estimate (IGE), the required period of performance or completion date, technical points of contact, and any other supplemental documentation critical to the requirement.

Once submitted and approved, the PPR will be assigned to a requisitioner who will enter the purchase requisition (PR). The PPR/PR is then expedited to a Contract Specialist (CS) for review and processing.

6) Invoicing and Payment Procedures (BPA Calls Exceeding the Micro-Purchase Threshold)

Invoicing procedures for a BPA call over the micro-purchase threshold begin after a BPA call is executed by a warranted CO and services have been completed and accepted by the Government.

Invoices are submitted via the Internet Payment Platform (ipp.gov) by the contractor, and are required to contain the following information:

a. Name of Contractor

b. BPA #

c. BPA call number (to be provided by Government)

d. Period of performance/delivery date

e. Itemized list of services

If the Contractor is experiencing issues with the invoicing process, they may contact the IPP Production Helpdesk at (866) 973-3131.

Once an invoice has been received, the station’s government receiving official must review and approve/reject the invoice. Payment cannot be made prior to delivery. The electronic payment process for small businesses is usually 10-14 days (or less).

7) BPA Call Administration

The BPA CO is responsible for administration and management of the BPA. Under no circumstances shall any understanding, agreement, modification, or any other action in deviation from the terms and conditions of the BPA be effective or binding upon the Government. The CO is available to answer questions concerning planning and developing BPA calls, review, and https://doimspp.sharepoint.com/sites/fws-FF10G23300/SitePages/Charge-Card-Purchase-Card.aspx

5-Year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Road Grading and Snow Removal

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(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

5-Year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Road Grading and Snow Removal contract without further action by either party.

(a) Definitions. The clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.202-1, Definitions, is incorporated by reference.

(b) Inspection/Acceptance. The Contractor shall only tender for acceptance those items that conform to the requirements of this contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The Government must exercise its post acceptance rights—

(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

(c) Assignment. The Contractor or its assignee may assign its rights to receive payment due as a result of performance of this contract to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution, including any Federal lending agency in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727). However, when a third party makes payment (e.g., use of the Governmentwide commercial purchase card), the Contractor may not assign its rights to receive payment under this contract.

(d) Changes. Changes in the terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties.

(e) Disputes. This contract is subject to 41 U.S.C. chapter 71, Contract Disputes. Failure of the parties to this contract to reach agreement on any request for equitable adjustment, claim, appeal, or action arising under or relating to this contract shall be a dispute to be resolved in accordance with the clause FAR 52.233-1, Disputes, which is incorporated in this contract by reference. The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any dispute arising under the contract.

(f) Excusable delays. The Contractor shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence. Examples of occurrences include acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. When an excusable delay occurs, the Contractor shall—

(1) Notify the Contracting Officer in writing as soon as possible;

(2) Remedy the delay as quickly as possible; and

(3) Notify the Contracting Officer when the occurrence is over.
