This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses for commercial items in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-41. The associated NAICS code is 315222. COMMERCIAL ITEM DESCRIPTION: The USPFO for Arizona has a requirement for army service uniforms and we intend to issue a Blanket Purchase Agreement to the offeror that can furnish all requested items, which conforms to the requirement, at the lowest cost. A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing charge accounts with qualified sources of supply. BPA's are designed to reduce administrative costs in accomplishing small purchases by eliminating the need for issuing individual purchase documents. In other words, the government uses BPA's when the government knows they will need a basic requirement over and over, but can't say for sure when or how many of the items will be required. BPA is an agreement between the government and a contractor which sets the stage for the government to buy something quickly. All of the conditions of sale are negotiated when the BPA is initially established, so the contractor knows up front the kind of item(s) the government will be buying, and the government knows how much it's going to cost the government for each item they buy. The purpose of this BPA is to purchase Army Service Uniforms (ASU) for the Arizona National Guard. Supply, Service and Transportation would like to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to support the requirement for the ASU for all Arizona soldiers except Officers and active guard reserve (AGR).
