BPA for Residential Furniture

The U.S. Embassy Wellington is soliciting quotations to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the procurement of residential furniture and related supplies to support mission operations in Wellington, New Zealand. This BPA, identified by solicitation number 19NZ9526Q0012, is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract aimed at enabling repetitive, pre-negotiated purchases without committing to a fixed total value. The offer deadline is 4 August 2026 at 17:00 New Zealand Time, with submissions permitted only via email to wellington.GSOProcurement@state.gov, and individual emails must not exceed 25MB in size. The contract is governed under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as a commercial item acquisition, incorporating clauses related to whistleblower protections, business ethics, contractor responsibility, cybersecurity prohibitions (including bans on Kaspersky and Bytedance-linked products), equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, and privacy training. Offerors must hold a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and those claiming small business or socioeconomic status must self-certify accordingly, with additional disclosures required if they use restricted telecommunications equipment or claim joint venture status. The technical requirement for all furniture is that items must be new, unused, merchantable, and free from defects in materials and workmanship, conforming to the salient characteristics detailed in Attachment 1, the Product Detail List. Pricing, discounts, and terms are to be submitted per Attachment 2, the BPA Pricing and Discount Schedule, though specific line-item prices and quantities remain unspecified. Delivery must occur within four weeks of a BPA call being issued, with furniture to be placed in designated rooms by the vendor, who also bears responsibility for removing all packaging materials upon delivery. Inspection and final acceptance occur at the destination by Government officials, and nonconforming items must be repaired or replaced at no cost to the Government. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, with technical acceptability assessed on a pass/fail basis, and price used as the primary determination among qualified offers. The Contracting Officer’s Representative and other key contacts are not fully identified in the documentation. The solicitation imposes no set-aside, and all responsible contractors are eligible to compete. Payment processing follows Standard Form 1449 protocols, with no specific invoice system specified, and no formal contract value or appropriation data has been disclosed.
