The Government’s obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. Notice to Offerors: Please note that a BPA is not a contract. A BPA is a streamlined method for acquiring products or services on an as-needed basis from qualified sources that are readily available and thus eliminate the need for repetitive costly re-procurements. Establishment of a BPA does not guarantee calls will be made. There is no minimum guaranteed quantity. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this notice. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this notice. The Government may request a site visit with any offeror to establish acceptability. Awarded BPA holders undergo annual visits to ensure standards are met. Each BPA may have up to a five (5) year ordering period with a ceiling not to exceed $500,000, the BPA will expire after 5 years or the ceiling is reached. The ceiling of each agreement can be increased or decreased at any time by the Contracting Officer (CO) via a bilateral modification to meet current and future requirements. Such instances can include pandemics, natural disasters, and any other reason the Government determines the need for increased or decreased lodging accommodations are needed. Funding is not assigned to the BPA, as a Government Purchase Card (GPC) will be used for call orders. As a Governmental agency, Westover is tax exempt from paying any federal or state taxes. (*Notice to any Vendor that is not a lodging business, Westover’s tax-exempt status DOES NOT apply to 3rd party vendors. Any non-lodging vendor will be required to pay federal and/or state taxes. These charges cannot be passed along to the Westover Government Purchase Card holder). The Government will only be obligated to the extent of calls placed against an awarded BPA. BPA calls will be competed among BPA awardees with lodging facilities in the desired area by requesting quotes. The Government will rotate vendors under their discretion and vendor availability. The call will then be placed based on the quote that is most advantageous to the Government.
