The BPA Holder's performance in meeting the required delivery date, which will be based on calendar days after date of issuance of Call or Delivery Order, will be reflected in the contractor's past performance assessment. All BPA Holders determined under this synopsis and solicitation will be required to bill and accept payment through the Wide Area Work Flow system.
