Many Federal Government Agencies seek to reduce the delays and expense in preparing and awarding service contracts through the normal acquisition and IDIQ process. As a solution for this problem, the GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) offers a solution to this problem that is flexible, cost effective, fully FAR compliant, and easy to use.
For that reason, Integrated Intelligence Solutions offers BPAs for Information Technology Professional Services (SIN 132.51) and Earth Observation Solutions (SIN 132.41).
Benefits of GSA Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA):
- The ability to tailor orders to achieve results by customizing terms and conditions at the order level.
- Alternatives , such as blanket purchase agreements that can replace the need for agency indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts.
- Pre-competed, on-demand contracts increases the productivity and capacity of scarce acquisition resources.
- Quick and easy access to the right industry partners, allowing you to make the most use of your valuable time.
- Cost effective – direct small business pricing eliminates large prime mark ups.
