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 Hardware and Plumbing Supplies for its nationwide facilities, including locations in Mississippi, New Hampshire, Illinois, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, and Alaska. This combined synopsis/solicitation, issued under solicitation number W912HZ26QA035-0001 and set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 332510, aims to establish a pool of 3 to 5 contractors capable of supplying structural steel, special alloys, copper and stainless hardware, and other specialized plumbing and building materials, with no minimum order guarantee and a total BPA ceiling of $12 million, expiring either after five years or upon reaching the financial limit, whichever comes first. All orders will be issued as firm-fixed-price call orders with no minimum value, and deliveries must be made FOB destination to various ERDC sites with full compliance to federal requirements including hazardous materials labeling under 29 CFR 1910.1200 and mandatory delivery documentation including supplier name, BPA and call numbers, itemized quantities, pricing, and government receipt signatures. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email by July 17, 2026, in three distinct volumes: a technical proposal not exceeding 80 pages detailing corporate capacity and standard operating procedures for RFQ fulfillment; a past performance proposal up to 20 pages demonstrating recent, relevant experience in supplying structural steel, special alloys, and specialty hardware; and an unrestricted price quote including a completed Standard Form 1449 and the pricing schedule from Attachment 01. Evaluation will prioritize technical capability and past performance as equally significant and substantially more important than price, with award based on best value to the government. Offerors must maintain active SAM registration with a valid UEI and CAGE code, certify compliance with prohibitions on procurement from excluded regions and entities, and ensure all delivery personnel are U.S. citizens adhering to strict site security protocols including pre-notification of subcontractor arrivals. Invoicing is mandatory through the Wide Area Workflow system, requiring electronic submission with full alignment to contract and BPA details, and contractors are solely responsible for quality control, timely delivery, and accurate invoicing, with noncompliance subjecting them to withholding of future RFQs. Additional requirements include submission of spec
