This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. This announcement constitutes the only synopsis/solicitation that is being posted in accordance with the Scope of Work and a written solicitation will not be issued. NAICS Code: 424720. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, has a requirement for commercial sources to provide fuel as listed in the details below. This requirement is being issued as 100% Small Business Set Aside and is being procured as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under FAR Part 13.303. The Government anticipates one, 2-year BPA from this solicitation from which future BPA call orders will be placed against. The BPA will have an estimated $500,000.00 purchase limitation. SPECIFICATIONS CONTRACTOR INSTRUCTION AND GUIDELINES SECTION I – INTRODUCING THE BPA 1. A BPA is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing “charge accounts” with qualified sources of supply. BPA’s are designed to reduce administrative costs in accomplishing small purchases by eliminating the need for issuing individual purchase documents. In other works, the Government uses BPA’s when we know that we will need a basic requirement over and over, but can’t say for sure when or how many of items will be required. A good example would be fuel deliveries or automobile parts. 2. A BPA is an agreement between the Government and a Contractor which sets the stage for us to buy something quickly. All of the conditions of sale are negotiated when the BPA is initially established, so the Contractor know up front the kind of item we will be buying, and we know how much it’s going to cost us for each item we buy. 3. BPA’s are often “decentralized” and that is when the ordering officer comes into the picture. As an ordering officer for the Government, they determine the necessary requirements, and place the call to the Contractor to request delivery of those items. SECTION II – BPA TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. Description of agreement. Government Orders shall be made on an as needed basis. The Contractor shall deliver the fuel within 24 hours of receiving the Government Order.
