This is a special notice seeking competition for Blanket Purchase Agreements. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation for these requirements; pricing is being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) / Price List. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-96. This procurement is subject to full and open competition. The North American Industrial Classification Standard 721110 applies to this solicitation; business size standard is $32.5m. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award under a different NAICS, if the company would qualify as a small business under the solicited NAICS. The Minnesota Air National Guard, 148th Fighter Wing, has established several Blanket Purchase Agreements with local hotels, including Days Inn and Holiday Inn. A Blanket Purchase Agreement is an agreement between the government and a vendor that allows the 148FW to make "calls" against established terms via a government credit card (GPC). The 148FW is seeking to expand the potential pool of BPA holders. Any BPA will be valid for a period up to three (3) years, with potential for automatic re-issuance. All BPA calls are under the Oral Quote threshold and will be competed among BPA holders. Typically, at the start of any year, the 148FW distributes potential needs to all BPA holders. BPA holders then return pricing and availability for those dates. The 148FW selects the best value location or locations per date ranges. These calls are supplemented as needed. The following is needed: - Price lists, availability, and maximum capacity numbers for the coming year (2019). Please include any information about the quality of hotel and location. Locations within a 5 mile radius of the Duluth International Airport will be given precedence, although all locations in a 50 mile radius will be considered. 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 re-procurements. 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. ****Quotation Instructions**** Multiple solutions to the requirement are encouraged and should be offered as alternative quotes and will be evaluated as separate offers. Innovative solutions are encouraged and will be evaluated in accordance with the intent of this requirement. Quotes resulting from "calls" will be comparatively evaluated in compliance with FAR 13.106-2 (b) (3). Location, pricing, and quality will all be considered. Lack of active SAM registration will preclude BPA award. All offerors shall include a completed copy of FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Item or complete electronic representations and certifications at: https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM All questions and quotes must be directed to 148 Contracting Officer via email at
