Additional Notes
This notice is not a request for quotations, and a solicitation will not be issued. The government considers the establishment of multiple BPAs with the identified vendors to constitute maximum practicable competition at this time. However, other sources believing they can fulfill the requirements are encouraged to submit capability statements, price lists, and catalogs via email to the point of contact. If additional BPAs are deemed necessary, capable vendors may be contacted. The IHS IEE Representation Form is critical for any bidder seeking to be considered for contracts under the Buy Indian Act, requiring self-certification as an Indian Economic Enterprise.
