- Description
- The Garrison Utilities Directorate, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, 07806, is seeking local vendors interested in entering into a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for landscaping services to be performed at Picatinny. A BPA is not a contract. If used, a BPA will be issued in advance of actual requirements in order to set forth the terms and conditions that will be applicable to purchases made under the BPA, aka ???Calls.??? The use of this procedure is expected to avoid the writing of numerous purchase orders. Upon issuance of a BPA, the Government will be obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under the BPA. The existence of a BPA will not justify purchasing from only one source. Each BPA will include as a minimum, terms and conditions mandated by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and the Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS). Full-text clauses can be viewed online at http://www.arnet.gov/. Additional information on BPA???s is at FAR 13.303. Vendors are requested to review the following and, if interested, submit the information requested below. PREREQUISITES: In order to be considered for award of a BPA, vendors must be willing to comply with the following: a. Register online at http://www.bpn.gov/. Registration is particularly important for payment purposes. Payment will be made by Electronic Funds Transfer or Government Purchase Card. Additional information is available at the website. b. Submit payment requests in electronic form as required by the DFARS clause 252.232.7003, except for-- (1) Purchases paid for with a Governmentwide commercial purchase card, (i.e., VISA credit card); or (2) Individual cases where-- (i) The contractor is unable to submit, or DoD is unable to receive, a payment request in electronic form; and (ii) The contracting officer, the payment office, the contract administration office, and the contractor mutually agree to an alternative method. c. Comply with the requirements of the ARDEC 68 clause, which is available for review and downloading at http://procnet.army.mil.
