BPA MASTER AGREEMENT FOR SANITATION SERVICES

Active

Contract Opportunity

The Michigan National Guard is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.603, FAR 13, and supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) will be established for sanitation services of rental of portable toilets and handwash stations for the Michigan Army National Guard. A BPA is not a binding contract but an agreement; thus prices must be set prior to any orders being placed against the BPA at the time of issuing a Task Order. Additionally, either party has the choice to terminate or re-negotiate an agreement provided a 30-day notification is given. BPAs period of performance is usually for a five-year period unless terminated by either party or the BPA Master dollar limit has been met. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases made under the BPA Task Order as authorized by the Contracting Officer.

The government is looking for qualified companies to provide sanitation services to the Michigan Army National Guard. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) will be established with the eligible contractors that are able to meet our requirements in accordance with Attachment A – Performance Work Statement (PWS). The BPA holder shall provide rentals, services, supplies, labor, and supervision to ensure proper execution of sanitation services. The contractors who are awarded the BPA master agreement will be sent the solicitation for the individual task orders. The Task Order will be issued to the BPA holder with the lowest price at the time of the RFQ of the Task Order.
