- This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at: http://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at: https://www.neco.navy.mil.

Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command. The Government intends to issue multiple Blank Purchase Agreements (BPAs) in accordance with Simplified Acquisition procedures, FAR Part 13. Please note that a BPA is not a contract. A BPA is a streamlined method for acquiring services on an as-needed basis from qualified sources that are readily available and thus eliminate the need for repetitive costly re-procurements. There is no minimum or maximum guaranteed quantity. All calls/orders must be acknowledged by the selected vendor in order to be retained on the BPA calling list. The Government will not be issuing a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) because this is notice will result in BPAs. In addition, the Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this notice. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this notice. Because the needs of NSWCDD are dynamic, NSWCDD will periodically solicit additional offers to add new vendors to the calling list.
