- Description
- Sources Sought Notice The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is seeking sources to establish several Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with vendors, who are classified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as HUBZone (HUB), based upon 13 CFR Part 126; Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), based upon 13 CFR Part 127, and/or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOB), also known as Service Disabled Veterans, based upon 13 CFR Part 125.8 and Part 125.13. The BEP anticipates establishing BPAs that are set-aside for each of these categories. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to increase the BEP’s listing of vendors who are capable of supplying required stock items. The establishment of these BPAs within these specific business classification categories will assist the BEP in achieving its small business participation goals and thereby assist in the creation of set-asides for each of these categories. Therefore, small businesses, which do not possess these additional classifications, or large businesses, will not be permitted to participate in this opportunity. These additional classifications must be visible on an Active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) profile. The resulting contract vehicles will be utilized by the BEP Office of Acquisition – Purchasing and Inventory Division, for the acquisition of stock items for its plants located in Washington, DC and Ft. Worth, TX. Vendors will be required to possess the above referenced classification certifications at the time of expressing interest in establishing a BPA, during creation of the contract vehicle, as well as maintain the classification at the time calls are placed against the agreement.
