A BPA is an agreement intended to support a streamlined method for acquiring products or services on an as- needed basis from qualified sources. The intent is to eliminate the need for repetitive costly re-procurements. All funded requirements issued under the terms and conditions of a BPA are called “Calls”. The 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 Governmentis not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this notice. The Government may request a site visit with any offeror to establish acceptability. A minimum of one annual review of all BPA holders will occur, in order to ensure standards are met. Each BPA will be valid for five years or a maximum value of $900,000.00, whichever comes first. A single BPA Call will not exceed $250,000. Any changes to the existing terms and conditions of the BPA will be executed through a bilateral modification. Funding is not assigned to the BPA. The Government will only be obligated to the extent of calls placed against an issued BPA. The NYARNG reserves the right to rotate BPA vendors. The rotation will be completed on a 3 vendor competition model. A list of vendors will be generated and maintained in the NYARNG P&C office. When a CSTS Catering requirement is generated, the list will be ran through a random generator (Random.org or similar) and the randomly selected vendors will be solicited for price and availability. The winning vendor will receive the BPA Call. This process will be completed for every NYARNG CSTS onsite cooking requirement. The individual meal rates shall not exceed the maximum allowable General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) per diem rates for meals, which can be found at https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates. The Government reserves the right to cancel this combined synopsis/solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this combined synopsis/solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs. In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g) which is incorporated by reference, the Government intends to evaluate capabilities statements and issue a BPA without discussions with offerors. Please review FAR 52.212-1 in its entirety. Offerors must have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov as of the date of award determination to be eligible for award.
