ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES MASTER BPAs

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is seeking to establish a pool of three to five Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for the procurement of electrical supplies over a five-year period, with a total estimated value not to exceed $9,000,000. This solicitation, W912HZ26QA024, is a combined synopsis and solicitation issued under FAR subpart 12.6 and is exclusively set aside for small businesses as defined by the NAICS code 335999, with a size standard of 600 employees. The BPAs will be awarded based on the best value to the government, evaluating technical capability and past performance as significantly more important than price, though all factors are considered. The scope includes furnishing a wide range of electrical materials such as conduit, switches, fuses, distribution equipment, wiring, transformers, sensors, and related hardware, all of which must conform to the detailed specifications listed in Attachment 01, the BPA Pricing Schedule. Orders will be issued as firm-fixed price call orders with no minimum guarantee, and each individual order must remain below the simplified acquisition threshold. All prospective contractors must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) with no exclusions, and submissions must be made electronically via email to the designated contracting officer with a specific subject line format. Proposals must be structured in three separate volumes: a technical proposal not exceeding 80 pages detailing corporate capacity, a call execution plan, and geographic capability across nine specified locations; a past performance volume limited to 20 pages, including official CPARS reports and the completed Past Performance Questionnaire submitted directly by referenced customers; and a price quote volume containing a fully completed Standard Form 1449 and the unmodified BPA Pricing Schedule Excel file with accurate unit pricing matching the pre-defined units of measure. Additional requirements include compliance with environmental regulations, mandatory use of WAWF for electronic invoicing and receiving reports, delivery of goods to secure federal facilities, and adherence to strict security protocols such as U.S. citizenship for delivery personnel and the prohibition of weapons on government premises. Contractors must also comply with clauses related to sustainable products, combating trafficking, drug-free workplaces, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, Buy American provisions, and prohibitions on sourcing from certain foreign entities.
