Region 1 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Construction Services in the States of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont General Information The General Services Administration’s (GSA’s) Public Building Service (PBS) anticipates repetitive needs for construction services under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000), including but not limited to repair and alteration (R&A) projects, within the following local trade areas of Region 1 (New England Region) but the exact items, quantities, and delivery requirements are not known in advance and may vary considerably within the broad class of construction services. In order to provide rapid, quality responses to these needs, GSA contemplates establishing a network of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) established under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) that would serve several purposes: Generate interest in PBS’ smaller R&A projects. Provide coverage commensurate with the immediate or urgent needs in each of the widely-varying geographic locations of the buildings within the PBS portfolio. Grow the pool of contractors who are comfortable and willing to work with the federal government in order to increase competition on larger dollar-value projects. GSA is considering separate BPAs in the following local trade areas: Boston, MA metropolitan area; Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT metropolitan areas; Portland, Augusta, and Coburn Gore, ME metropolitan areas; Bridgeport and New Haven, CT metropolitan areas; Northwestern Vermont; Northern Maine; Eastern Maine; Northeastern Vermont and Northern New Hampshire; Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts; Worcester, MA metropolitan area; and Southern New Hampshire. See Attachment E Draft Agreement, Exhibit F Geographic Vicinities for Use of RSMeans City Cost Index for further definition of these local trade areas. Please see the Solicitation documentation attached for specific trade and evaluation information. A Request for Information (RFI) period is established for this posting whereby the GSA POCs will accept general RFIs that seek clarification for this posting. GSA will respond to all RFIs received by December 11, 2020. RFIs may be submitted after this date, but GSA cannot guarantee a timely response. Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects In accordance with FAR 13.303-5 and FAR 36.204, the magnitude of individual construction projects may be between $0 and $250,000 (the current Simplified Acquisition Threshold) but shall not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
