NOTICE TO OFFERORS:
Please note that a BPA is not a contract. A BPA is a streamlined method for acquiring products or services on an as-needed basis from qualified sources that are readily available and thus eliminate the need for repetitive costly reprocurements. Establishment of a BPA does not guarantee calls will be made. There is no minimum guaranteed quantity. The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this notice. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this notice. The Government may request a site visit with any offeror to establish acceptability. Awarded BPA holders undergo annual visits to ensure standards are met.

Each BPA will have up to a five (5) year ordering period with a ceiling of up to $900,000.00, the BPA will expire after 5 years or the $900,000 ceiling is reached. BPA calls will have a purchase limit of $249,999.99 per call. The ceiling of each agreement can be increased or decreased at any time by the Contracting Officer (KO) via a bilateral modification to meet current and future requirements. Such instances can include pandemics, natural disasters, and any other reason the Government determines the need for increased or decreased lodging accommodations are needed.

Funding is not assigned to the BPA. The Government will only be obligated to the extent of calls placed against an awarded BPA. BPA calls will be competed among BPA awardees with lodging facilities in the desired area by requesting quotes. The Government will rotate vendors under their discretion and vendor availability. The call will then be placed based on the quote that is most advantageous to the Government. The individual room rates shall not exceed the maximum allowable General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) per diem rates for lodging, which can be found at https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/pre-diem-rates .

The Government reserves the right to cancel this combined synopsis/solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this combined synopsis/solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g) which is incorporated by reference, the Government intends to evaluate capabilities statements and award a BPA without discussions with offerors. Please review FAR 52.212-1 in its entirety.

Offerors must have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov as of the date of award determination to be eligible for award. Offeror shall ensure all representations and certifications are current in SAM as a condition of award. SAM must also have clause 52.204-26 (Oct 2020), if not complete or older version an 889 will be required.
