Metals BPA

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center is soliciting quotes for a Metals Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to supply nonferrous metals including aluminum sheets, steel sheets, tubing, angles, flat bars, round bars, extrusions, and forgings in various specifications and sizes. The procurement supports the 846th Test Squadron at Holloman High Speed Test Track for rocket sled testing capabilities, with materials required to meet industry standards and US trade laws. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to deliver metals within 60 days of order, with potential expedited delivery options available. The government will evaluate vendors based on two primary technical factors: metal availability and delivery capability within 60 days, followed by an assessment of past performance including on-time delivery, order accuracy, responsiveness, and material quality. Quote submissions are due by July 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. MDT and must include an electronic quote, signed solicitation, completed Materials List, CAGE code, two-page capability statement, and optional past performance narrative.

This solicitation is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 331491 with a size standard of 900 employees, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The government intends to award up to five BPAs to technically acceptable vendors who provide the best value, though they reserve discretion to select more or fewer vendors based on their assessment. Individual purchases under the BPA will be limited to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with no minimum order guarantees provided by the government. The agreement will have a five-year duration, with deliveries restricted to Monday through Thursday between 0800-1500 hours at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. The BPA structure will be unpriced due to raw material volatility, utilizing competition to establish fair and reasonable pricing at the time of each quote request.
