We intend to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Make Ready Cleaning Services.
The U.S. Embassy estimates that the volume of purchases through this BPA will be PHP550,000.00 for Two (2) years. The Embassy is not obligated to purchase any definite amount under this BPA. The amount of any one purchase will not exceed PHP 450,000.00.
The U.S. Government is exempt from paying the ad valorem/specific tax, custom and duties imposed by the Philippine Government under Section 106(a) and 109 of the Tax Code of 1997, respectively. Thus, price(s) shall be billed to the U.S. Government net of ad valorem tax, value added tax, customs and duties.
Payment shall be made via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) within 30 days from receipt of the original and correct summary invoice. A summary invoice shall be submitted at least monthly or upon expiration of BPA, whichever occurs first, for all deliveries made during a billing period. The invoice shall identify the call orders/delivery tickets covered therein, stating the total value, and supported by recent copies of the call orders/delivery tickets.
The U.S. Government intends to award BPAs to those firms that are technically acceptable, responsible, and clearly intend to sell products or services to the U.S. Government at market prices or below. The Contracting Officer will determine technical acceptability by ensuring that the firm is able to comply with the terms of this BPA. Responsibility will be based on requirements of FAR 9.1.
All contractors shall be registered in the SAM (System for Award Management) Database https://www.sam.gov prior to contract award pursuant to FAR provision 52.204-7. Therefore, prospective offerors are required to register prior to the submittal of offers. If you are not already registered, please start the registration process as soon as you see this notice.
