Materials, Equipment, Supplies, and Expendables BPA

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Materials, Equipment, Supplies, and Expendables (MESE) covering a comprehensive range of industrial supplies including abrasives, adhesives, brushes, cutting tools, hardware, personal protective equipment, and miscellaneous items. Vendors must submit quotes using the provided TEP Worksheet for Items and are required to offer at least 80% of the listed items to be considered for award, with the government planning to award three to five active agreements. The evaluation will be based on the Total Estimated Price (TEP) methodology, focusing on price reasonableness, price realism, and potential unbalanced pricing, with the lowest total evaluated price determining the award. The original quote submission deadline of August 18, 2025 at 12:00 PM CST has been extended through Amendment 0004 to August 25, 2025 at 12:00 PM CST. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments addressing industry questions and clarifications, with vendors able to adjust pricing up to once every three months based on market conditions.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, requiring prime contractors to be registered as small businesses under NAICS Code 339999 in SAM.gov, with the solicitation documents also referencing Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) requirements. The total potential contract value is capped at $80,000,000 over a five-year period, with orders anticipated to be placed monthly on an as-needed basis. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where deliveries of the procured materials and supplies will be made. The government reserves flexibility in issuing calls directly to vendors, competing orders among awarded contractors, or rotating business to ensure equitable distribution. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the solicitation documentation, suggesting this may be a new or re-competed requirement seeking fresh competition among qualified small businesses.
