This is a special notice seeking competition for Blanket Purchase Agreements. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation for these requirements; pricing is being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. BPAs can be established with any elligible company at any time, and the closing date of this notice will not be a limiting factor. BPAs can be established before and after the closing of this notice. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-03. This procurement is subject to full and open competition. The North American Industrial Classification Standard 721110 applies to this solicitation; business size standard is $32.5m. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award under a different NAICS, if the company would qualify as a small business under the solicited NAICS. The PA Air National Guard, 171st ARW (Coraopolis, PA) and 258th ATCS (Johnstown, PA), have established several Blanket Purchase Agreements with local hotels. A Blanket Purchase Agreement is an agreement between the government and a vendor that allows the 171st and 258th to make "calls" against established terms via Blanket Purchase Agreement Calls. The 171st ARW and 258th ATCS is seeking to expand the potential pool of BPA holders. Any BPA will be valid for a period up to three (3) years, with potential for automatic re-issuance. All BPA calls are under the Oral Quote threshold and will be competed among BPA holders. Typically, at the start of any year, the 171st and 258th distributes potential needs to all BPA holders. BPA holders then return pricing and availability for those dates. The 171st ARW and 258th ATCS selects the best value location or locations per date ranges. These calls are supplemented as needed. The following is needed: - Price lists, availability, and maximum capacity numbers for May 2020 thru April 2021. Please include any information about the quality of hotel and location. Locations within a 5 mile radius of the Pittsburgh International Airport (171st ARW) and within a 10 mile radius of John Murtha International Airport (258th ATCS) will be given precedence, although all locations in a 25 mile radius will be considered. 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 reprocurements. 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. ****Quotation Instructions**** Multiple solutions to the requirement are encouraged and should be offered as alternative quotes and will be evaluated as separate offers. Innovative solutions are encouraged and will be evaluated in accordance with the intent of this requirement. Quotes resulting from "calls" will be comparatively evaluated in compliance with FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3). Location, pricing, and quality will all be considered. Lack of active SAM registration will preclude BPA award. All offerors shall include a completed copy of FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Item or complete electronic representations and certifications at: https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM All questions and quotes must be directed to the 171st Contracting Officer via email at michael.w.boyd2.mil@mail.mil. Emailed quotes are preferred. Late quotes may be rejected at the Contracting Officer's discretion. Electronic Documents: All electronic documents must NOT be "secured", "locked", or otherwise inaccessible. Submitter risks rejection if documents prove inhospitable to viewing and evaluation. Utilize standard Microsoft or Adobe formats, and net file size of all documents should be less than 10MB. ****Clauses and Provisions**** 252.203-7000 Requirements Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials Sep-11 252.203-7002 Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights.
