Steel Cutting for various sizes and types

A three-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is being established to meet the recurring need of the Acoustic Research Detachments (ARD) for specialized steel cutting services across a wide range of metal types and sizes, including hot and cold rolled strips, structural angles, rounds, square and rectangular tubing, pipe, carbon steel sheets, rebar, grating, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and various structural rolling components. The agreement will function under a firm fixed price arrangement with no pre-priced line items; instead, pricing will be solicited on a per-call basis as needs arise, with quotes required to be at or below the contractor’s most favored customer pricing. All shipping costs must be included in the proposed price, with no separate CLINs permitted, and deliveries must be made Monday through Friday between 0800 and 1400 local time to the designated location at Bayview, Idaho, though performance is not restricted to that site. The contract enforces strict compliance with MIL-STD-130 for item identification, MIL-STD-129 for shipment labeling, and mandates machine-readable tagging using automatic identification technology compliant with Appendix A of MIL-STD-130. Unique item identifiers and associated data elements must be reported upon delivery as part of the Material Inspection and Receiving Report. The evaluation method is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable, where technical capability must be rated acceptable to qualify, with price being the sole determining factor among eligible offers. Contractors must maintain active SAM registration, comply with all applicable FAR and DFARS clauses including cybersecurity requirements under NIST SP 800-171, prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, and electronic payment submissions via WAWF with designated DoDAAC codes. Payment will generally be processed through the Government Purchase Card, requiring vendors to submit invoices with a third-party payment request form to the designated representative listed in each individual call, with strict prohibitions on retaining or reusing credit card information. The period of performance runs from July 6, 2026, to July 5, 2029, and the NAICS code is 333517. Participation is open to all offerors as the procurement is not set aside for small businesses, and all submissions must be received by 11:00 AM on July 14, 2026, with questions due by 10:00 AM EST on the same day.
