Blanket Purchase Agreements

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division intends to award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA's) for FSC 8145 (Shipping & Storage Containers). BPA's are 100% Small Business Set-Aside. BPA Calls will not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. BPA vendors must accept credit card as method of payment. BPA's will be awarded on the basis of Past Performance. Interested vendors should provide a minimum of five (5) past performance references. These references should include name of business, address, phone number, point of contact, contract/purchase order number, and name of item. The Government will evaluate the past performance via surveys of the references. Past Performance will be evaluated based upon Product Quality, Timeliness, Customer Satisfaction, and Reliability. Vendors who receive a rating of "Very Good" or better will receive a BPA award. The government reserves the right to use additional past performance references if available. Additionally, vendors will continuously be rated based on quality performance. Vendor acceptance/reject data will be collected from receiving inspection. Calculation percentage for acceptance is equal to total calendar year vendor acceptances divided by total calendar year vendor receipts. Criteria for removal will be if less than a 60% acceptance rate is maintained for a period of more than three (3) purchases or more than one quarter (whichever is greater) before being recommended for removal. The vendor must demonstrate improvement if the acceptance rate is between 60-80%. A qualified performer will maintain an 80% or higher acceptance rate. Interested vendors should provide references to Joshua Miller at [email protected] no later than 26 March 2010.
