Concrete and Aggregates Master BPA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is soliciting quotes for a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to procure concrete and aggregates supplies for its facilities, with a total estimated value not to exceed $5,000,000 across all awardees. This is a full small business set-aside under NAICS code 327390, with a size standard of 500 employees, and the government anticipates awarding between three and five BPAs based on best value, considering technical capability, past performance, and price—all evaluated in a tradeoff process where technical and past performance factors are of equal importance and significantly more critical than price. All prospective offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management prior to the July 17, 2026 submission deadline and must submit a three-volume quote: Volume I covers corporate capacity and key personnel (not to exceed 40 pages combined), Volume II presents past performance (20 pages), and Volume III includes the Standard Form 1449 and pricing schedule with no page limit. The BPA will be executed through firm-fixed price call orders with no minimum guarantee, and individual calls will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Offers must provide detailed information on the Chief Executive Officer and Procurement Specialist’s experience managing similar contracts and delivering quality aggregates, including ready mix concrete, sand, gravel, crushed stone, limestone, and erosion control materials, all delivered FOB destination to ERDC sites in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Delivery personnel must be U.S. citizens, comply with federal security protocols including sign-in procedures and weapons inspections, and adhere to EM 385-1-1 safety standards. Contractors are responsible for quality control and must meet 100% compliance on timeliness, product conformity, delivery schedule, and accurate invoicing, with the government conducting routine and final inspections for each call. Invoices must be submitted electronically within 30 days of delivery, referencing the BPA call number and itemized details, and payments will be processed via electronic funds transfer or the governmentwide commercial purchase card. The agreement includes numerous FAR and DFARS clauses addressing drug-free workplace, sustainable products, subcontracting, payment terms, Buy American requirements, prohibition of hexavalent chromium, and security restrictions, along with requirements to report unique entity identifiers and CAGE codes for defense telecommunications compliance.
