TERMS AND CONDITIONS

BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (BPA)

Kansas Air National Guard (KSANG)

52955 Jayhawks Dr. McConnell AFB, KS 67221-9000

1.0 GENERAL.

1.1 Background. The 184 Wing (WG), Kansas Air National Guard (KSANG) currently has a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for lodging to support Regular Scheduled Drill (RSD) training requirements for members conducting training in Wichita, KS. This BPA was established to support the KSANG RSD Troop Housing Program that is currently being operated and managed by the KSANG Services Flight. The program primarily exists for unit members who are located outside of the local commuting distance in the Wichita, KS area who require lodging to attend RSDs. This BPA serves as the KSANG’s formal agreement for commercial lodging (“troop housing” or “billeting”) over RSD periods, also known as “Guard Drill” or “Weekend Training” (hereafter RSD). It is the intention of the KSANG to continue utilizing BPAs as the primary contracting tool for the required housing services to maintain continuity, auditable material control, and streamlined billing procedures for the contractor. The terms and conditions are set forth herein. Please note that Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.303-1, FAR Part 12 and DFARS Part 213.303 apply to this BPA.

1.2 Description of Agreement. The KSANG has a primary requirement for commercial lodging and associated support services to house KSANG members on RSD status. RSD status may fall on any day of the month for select individuals, but generally the requirement for lodging exists over the course of one weekend per month. Over these “RSD weekends”, approximately 60 nights of lodging are typically required in the Wichita, KS area for approximately 95 personnel. Required nights of lodging for eligible personnel may occasionally increase or decrease, depending on mission requirements. Initial dates required for lodging:

Saturday, 4 January, 2020 and Sunday, 5 January, 2020. Future RSD Dates (May be subject to change) for calendar year 2020: February 1-2, March 7-8, April 4-5, May 2-3, June 6-7, July 11-12, August 1-2, September 12-13, October 3-4, November 7-8, December 5-6. Additionally, requirements may exist for lodging outside of the primary “RSD Weekends” throughout the course of any given month. The contractor shall provide lodging upon request by the Government. The Government will establish a BPA with the responsible business whose quote, conforming to the solicitation and associated Statement of Work (SOW) will be most advantageous to the Government using the “Lowest Price Technically Acceptable” method. If a business’s quote is found to be technically acceptable in accordance with this solicitation, price may be the determining factor. The objective of this agreement is to provide commercial lodging and associated (authorized) services for the KSANG in the local Wichita, KS area while achieving the best terms, conditions and pricing. Additionally, the KSANG seeks to streamline invoicing, billing, payment, ordering and delivery processes while standardizing existing reporting and analytical methods for audit and asset management. The payment vehicle for RSD Troop Housing shall be the method that is most advantageous to the government with regard to administrative requirements. The primary method of payment shall be payment via Government Purchase Card (GPC).
