Exact future requirements are not known at this time and there is no guarantee of requirements in the future. Future requirement Call or Delivery Orders not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $150,000 will be identified by a Call or Delivery Order numbering system determined by the Government.

The BPA contractors shall submit through the forum identified in the Call or Delivery Order email its quotation for price and delivery in response to the Call Order. The Contracting Officer shall specify the Call or Delivery Order quotation response time for each Call or Delivery Order RFQ dependent upon the size and complexity of the order. Failure to submit a complete and timely response to a BPA Call or Delivery Order RFQ may result in it being determined non-responsive to the Call or Delivery Order RFQ and may serve as the basis for not renewing the term of the BPA. The award of all Call or Delivery Orders issued under BPAs established through this solicitation and synopsis will be based on Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable selection process on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis to satisfy the Government's minimum requirements, and will be for the entire Call or Delivery Order requirement unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer. Offerors submitting a timely response and adequate documentation required in response to this synopsis and solicitation, and to whom a BPA is ultimately awarded, agree to waive their right to protest the award of all future Call or Delivery Orders. Upon the notification of the issuance of a specific Call or Delivery Order to the successful BPA Holder, that contractor shall assume responsibility for updating the projected delivery date for each Call or Delivery Order item on a bi-weekly basis either through e-mail submission or other means specified by the Government in the BPA. The BPA Holder's performance in meeting the required delivery date, which will be based on calendar days after date of issuance of Call or Delivery Order, will be reflected in the contractor's past performance assessment. All BPA Holders determined under this synopsis and solicitation will be required to bill and accept payment through the Wide Area Work Flow system. It is currently planned that actions with a value between $25,000 to $150,000 will be processed by the Contracting Officer. The offeror will be required to identify the location of its ordering/receiving facility to ensure that it is within a sixty (60) mile radius of any gate at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

The determination of the Government concerning the sixty (60) mile radius of Redstone Arsenal, AL is under the sole purview of the Contracting Officer and may be disputed by the offeror determined to be not within the commuting distance, but will not be the basis of restraining the issuance of BPAs to otherwise successful offerors.
