The Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) has a requirement to establish multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for Preventative Maintenance (PM) and Repair Services (RS) for Food Service Equipment MA ARNG Dining Facilities, located on Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC). A BPA is an agreement, not a contract or purchase order. It is like a charge account that sets forth terms and conditions prior to an actual purchase. The Government is not obligated to purchase any definite amount under this BPA. If a need arises, an authorized representative of the Government may issue an order following the procedures outlined in the BPA. If the BPA holder accepts the order, then a binding contract between the Government and BPA holder will exist for that specific order. This requirement is issued under a Total Small Business set-aside using Simplified Acquisition Procedures IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 under NAICS code 811412 – Appliance Repair and Maintenance. The small business size standard is $19.0M.

The Government reserves the right to award additional BPAs beyond the estimated number, or award no BPAs, from this combined synopsis/solicitation as determined to be in the Government's best interest. BPAs do not obligate any funds and are not binding contracts. The Government will be obligated only to the extent that authorized BPA calls or orders are actually made under these agreements. 5.

Calls/orders will be competed among Master BPA holders for the applicable region as request for quotes via oral solicitation or by e-mail. Failure to submit a complete and timely response to a Request for Quote (RFQ) may result in it being determined non-responsive. a) The Government reserves the right to set aside any Call/Order to any specific socioeconomic category of small business BPA Holder(s) (i.e., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB, etc. concerns). b) The Government reserves the right, at the Government’s discretion, to directly award a Call or issue an Order to any BPA Holder that has not yet received a Call/Order under their Master BPA or where a justification is made for exception to fair opportunity. c) The Government reserves the right to not request quotes from any BPA Holder due to lack of satisfactory performance or a documented history of poor-quality items on prior BPA orders/Calls.
