The Michigan National Guard is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.603, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) will be established for perishable and non-perishable food for the Michigan Army National Guard. A BPA is not a binding contract but an agreement; thus prices must be set prior to any orders being placed against the BPA. Additionally, either party has the choice to terminate or re-negotiate an agreement provided a 30-day notification is given. BPAs period of performance is usually for a five-year period unless terminated by either party or the BPA Master dollar limit has been met. The government is looking for qualified companies to provide perishable and non-perishable food/subsistence to the Michigan Army National Guard. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) will be established with three companies that are able to meet our requirements. These companies will be required to deliver food primarily to Camp Grayling in Grayling, Michigan but will also need to be able to fulfill the once-a-month requirement to the units in Michigan (see attachment Unit Addresses). Delivery dates will begin as early as June 1, 2018. If interested in establishing a BPA with the Michigan Army National Guard, please complete the attached Quote by Contractor.
