This announcement constitutes the only solicitation for which proposals are being requested. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-69, effective 1 August 2013. USDA Rural Development (RD) in Pennsylvania intends to award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA's) to small business firms capable of providing appraisals for government-managed/owned single family properties. A BPA is not a contract. The Government is not obligated to place any orders nor is the vendor obligated to accept any orders. For each work assignment, the Government will request appraisal services by issuing a BPA call order to firms that have been awarded BPA's. Individual call orders shall be submitted in accordance with the terms in the BPA. Government personnel authorized to place call orders under the BPA will be identified on the BPAs by name and telephone number. The contractor will be expected to furnish the service in accordance with the terms and conditions of the BPA, without the need for additional paperwork beyond the Statement of Work that accompanies the order. Timely delivery of complete and accurate appraisals is crucial to the success of RD programs. Call orders are to be completed within 14 business days of the call order date. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The contract period is October 1 2013 to September 30, 2014, with four optional fiscal years ending September 2018.
