Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)
Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) are a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for services and products. BPAs are "charge accounts" that ordering offices establish with GSA Schedule contractors to provide themselves with an easy ordering tool. Contractual terms and conditions are contained in GSA Schedule contracts and are not to be renegotiated for GSA Federal Supply Schedule BPAs. Therefore, as a purchasing option, BPAs eliminate such contracting and open market costs as the search for sources, the need to prepare solicitations, and the requirement to synopsize the acquisition.
A BPA can be set up offices across the nation to use, thus allowing them to participate in an ordering office's BPA and place orders directly with GSA Federal Supply Schedule contractors. In doing so, the entire agency reaps the benefits of additional discounts negotiated into the BPA. In addition, the ordering office reduces the administrative burden of writing numerous task/delivery orders, while still being able to order as much as it wants and as often as it wants. The flexibility and advantages are endless when setting up a BPA.
We have provided a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Technology Forecasting, Inc. as the Contractor to facilitate this process. Please feel free to contact us with questions or, for further information, please see the GSA website page regarding Blanket Purchase Agreements.

Hidden technological assumptions that are either too conservative or too bold can seriously impact the success of a contract by either missing the opportunities technology can provide or by trying to implement a technology before it is ready for general use. TFI, because of its experience in technology management, can recommend ways to be able to manage the risk of trying to stay ahead of technology to maximize long term payoff from your contract dollar.
