This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) in Vicksburg, MS intends to award multiple, up to three, Master Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) in order to facilitate Calibration Services. A BPA is a simplified method of filing anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing ¡°charge accounts¡± with qualified sources of supply. Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.303, Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), the Contractor agrees to the identified terms and conditions for a BPA to provide the required Calibration Services. Should a vendor hold an existing Master BPA for these services, a BPA Call may be issued.

The Government anticipates this solicitation will result in multiple BPA awards, up to three. Ordering shall be for a period of five years or a total combined amount of $285,000.00 in capacity is utilized unless earlier termination. The Contractor shall furnish all items necessary to supply the calibration services to GSL in accordance with the attached Description of Requirements (DOR).

The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2024-05. This procurement is being competed as 100% Small Business set aside utilizing the North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 811210, Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance, with a size standard $22 million. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with regulations at FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and FAR 13.303, Blanket Purchase Agreements.

The Master BPA does not obligate any funds. The government shall be obligated only to the extent of authorized orders actually utilized via a properly executed BPA Call. The Government estimates, but does not guarantee, that the total volume of purchases through this agreement will be a combined $285,000.00 over a 5-year period. Individual purchases shall not exceed $250,000.00. There shall be no guaranteed minimum or maximum order limits established and no guaranteed dollar amount of expenditures with the vendor. Actual purchases will be made via properly executed BPA Calls. All BPA Calls will be initiated at the time the services are needed by a warranted Contracting Officer, a warranted Micro-purchase Contracting Officer, or a BPA Ordering Authorized Individual.

The Description of Requirements (DOR) for the BPA Call is attached to this solicitation. Offerors shall provide a quote for the BPA Call.

In accordance with FAR 52.212-2 - Evaluation -- Commercial Items, the Government will award up to five agreements resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1) Technical ? Providing items that at least meet the minimum specifications as defined in the DOR. Technical documentation is required to show the type of services proposed in the contractors offer.

2) Price - Price will be evaluated to determine the award of the BPA call.

Basis of Award: Award(s) will be made to the three offerors that are technically acceptable and provide the lowest quote as stated above. Failure to submit sufficient information for the Government to determine technical capability and quoted price may be cause for rejection of your quote.
