Plastic Supplies Master BPA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is soliciting quotes for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to secure plastic supplies for its nine facilities nationwide over a five-year period, with the agreement expiring either at the five-year mark or upon reaching a $5,000,000 total obligation, whichever comes first. This procurement, identified as solicitation W912HZ26QA025, is exclusively set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 326130 with a size standard of 650 employees, requiring all offerors to maintain an active and accurate registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submission. The BPA will be awarded to between three and five vendors based on best value, with technical capability and past performance being significantly more important than price, though all three factors will be considered. A mandatory pass/fail gate requires offerors to demonstrate the logistical capability and commitment to deliver to all ERDC locations, including remote sites like Fox, Alaska and Fairbanks, Alaska, through a detailed logistical strategy and written delivery affirmation. The supplies required include a wide range of plastic materials such as PVC, high-density polyethylene, acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon, fiberglass, and others, with pricing strictly defined by Attachment 01, which must be completed without altering descriptions or part numbers. Orders under the BPA will be firm-fixed price call orders not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, and all deliveries must be made FOB destination. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three distinct volumes—technical proposal capped at 80 pages, past performance limited to 20 pages with preferred CPARS reports, and a price quote with a completed SF1449 and pricing schedule—via email by the deadline. Invoicing must be processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, adhering to detailed requirements including accurate line items, shipment data, and payment terms, with courtesy copies sent to designated points of contact. Contractors must comply with OSHA and DOT safety regulations, follow strict packaging and labeling standards under 29 CFR 1910.1200, and maintain operational SOPs covering RFQ responses, sourcing, quality control, packaging, and delivery. The Government will conduct routine and final inspections to ensure compliance with performance metrics including timely responses, delivery quality, specifications adherence, and accurate invoicing, with failure potentially resulting in withheld RFQs.
