- Description
- Full Description of Requirement Attached Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Program Category: Books and Journals (printed medical and research materials). The Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Program at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) creates� NIH-wide ordering mechanisms for the delegated/ simplified acquisition community via the� establishment of BPAs. BPA Calls, purchase orders, or the purchase card are used to place orders� for anticipated repetitive needs for supplies and services at a pre-negotiated rate. A blanket purchase agreement is not a contract, but a simplified method of filling anticipated� repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing �charge accounts� within the qualified� sources of supply (FAR 13.03-1). The BPAs have a 12-month ordering period and are reviewed for� possible renewal each year. The BPA Program under the Division of Acquisition Policy and Services (DSAPS) at the NIH invites� you to submit quotations in response to this combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items� prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 and combined with FAR 13 Simplified� Acquisition Procedures, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This� announcement constitutes the only solicitation for quotes. The solicitation number is 75N98024A-DSAPS-BPA and this requirement is issued as a Request for� Quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2023-05 published August 8, 2023. � The BPA Program is seeking to establish multiple, no more than 20 and up to 75% small business,� NIH-wide BPAs under FAR 13 with vendors that can research and source domestic and/or foreign� country biomedical literature in the form of monographs, monographic series (numbered and� unnumbered) in print copy to all the institutes and centers at the NIH. The biomedical literature� to be acquired is published from all regions of the world, and in various languages, by� multinational, commercial, Governmental, and non-commercial organizations. The world's largest biomedical library, the National Library of Medicine's at NIH is a BPA Program� customer whose primary mission, as mandated by Congress, is to acquire and provide biomedical and� health care literature and information - all formats and languages - to the public. The public is� defined as the full range of users and potential users of the NLM, NIH, and Department of Health� and Human Services (HHS) resources and services including researchers and scientists, library and� information science (LIS) professionals, clinicians, patients, students, the educational community,� and the public at large to meet its mandate to supply literary material related to medicine to the� public. Note: If an Offeror can source biomedical and health care literature and information - all formats� and languages - from publishers in foreign countries, please provide a list of those publishers� with your response to this solicitation. For long lists, please provide the top ten foreign publishers.
