- Description
- Call When Needed Equipment Rental Blanket Purchase Agreement This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for Call When Needed Equipment Rental prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The U.S. Forest Service intends to establish one or more Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Equipment Rental for the Lolo and Bitterroot National Forests located in Missoula and Hamilton, MT; however, the Government reserves the right not to award any BPA. Any resultant BPA(s) will be three (3) years in duration. A BPA is a vehicle that an ordering activity can use to facilitate the acquisition of recurring needs for services or supplies. BPAs enable ordering activities to prepare for anticipated purchases. A BPA is not a contract, and although it establishes the terms applicable to the placement of future orders, it does not obligate funds. When the need becomes immediate, the ordering activity can then make the purchase by simply placing a BPA Call against the BPA. BPAs do not state a minimum or maximum amount. Since it is not a contract there are no guarantees that the Government will place any orders against it. BPAs may be established upon receipt of Reply package. All interested contractors shall submit their list of equipment, and the Experience Questionnaire to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. In addition, Contractors will include with their reply a completed copy of the FAR provision 52.212-3, Offer Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The FAR clauses 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, and 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerers - Commercial Items, apply to this acquisition. This is a total small business set-aside and the small business size standard is $7 Million. The North American Industry Classification Code is 115310. The established BPA will have a performance period between approximately April 30, 2013 through April 30, 2016. This announcement constitutes the only notice; a written notice will not be issued. The notice and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-66A - 2/28/2013. The clauses and provisions referenced in this notice can be found in full text format at http://www.arnet.gov/far. Replies must be received by April 18, 2013, at 2:30 P.M. Mountain Time at the Lolo National Forest Supervisor's Office, Attn: Tami Mitchell, Building 24, Fort Missoula Road, Missoula, MT 59804. Please put "Call When Needed BPA Notice" on the envelope or in the subject line. Replies may also be emailed to tlmitchell@fs.fed.us.
