View morePlease note that a BPA is not a contract. A BPA is a method for filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies by establishing “charge accounts” with qualified sources of supply. The Government is only obligated to the extent of authorized purchases actually placed under a BPA. All calls must be acknowledged by the selected vendors to be retained on the BPA calling list. This combined synopsis/solicitation will allow for the review of interested companies’ qualifications and result in the award of BPAs.
The Government does not intend to pay for any information provided under this combined synopsis/solicitation.
The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this combined synopsis/solicitation.
Prospective vendors are invited to submit their responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation within the next 60 days, as vendors will be added on a rolling basis throughout the lifetime of the BPA commodities program. Once a contractor is issued a BPA there is no need to submit any response to subsequent combined synopsis/solicitation postings.
Contractors are cautioned that their BPA may not be renewed or may be cancelled if the contractor is not actively participating in the program by submitting bids in the Lakehurst BPA Tool or consistently have poor performance.
The maximum value of each individual purchase under a BPA may not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
Payments will be made using Government Purchase Credit (GPC) cards or electronic invoice submission IAW DFARS 252.232-7006 “Wide Area Workflow Instructions (JAN 2023).” Third party payment systems will not be accepted.
The Nonmanufacturer rule will apply to all nonmanufacturers in accordance with RFO FAR Part 19.104. A nonmanufacturer means any concern, including a supplier, that provides an end item it did not manufacture, process or produce.
The contractor shall supply chemicals to be delivered Free on Board (FOB) Destination terms to China Lake Propulsion Lab sites located onboard NAWCWD China Lake, CA. If an FOB point other than NAWCWD China Lake is required, it will be specified in the BPA Call.
Attachment 1 includes a list of chemicals but is not limited to just this list. Note: further requirements may be specified for each separate BPA Call.
Delivery times will be specified at the BPA Call level.
Interested parties shall provide their Cage Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEID) Numbers for verification of inclusion in the System for Award Management (SAM) along with a capabilities statement. The capabilities statement should include what the contractor’s primary business practice/trade is, and whether the contractor is a manufacturer or a supplier/distributor. Responsibility determinations will also precede issuance of a BPA call and will be conducted in accordance with RFO FAR Part 9.1.
A Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 (CUI Self) is anticipated for this requirement. If you disagree with the anticipated CMMC Level, please provide a rationale, and the recommended CMMC Level.
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) issued solicitation N6893626Q5129 to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for six chemical commodities. This initiative supports weapons and energetics research, development, testing, and evaluation programs for Department of the Navy operations at China Lake, California. This requirement is a total SBA SBA set-aside. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 325199 All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing and PSC code 6810 CHEMICALS.
The resulting BPAs will function as charge accounts to fulfill repetitive needs for supplies, with individual BPA Calls competed through the Lakehurst BPA Tool. Contractors are required to deliver chemicals Free on Board (FOB) Destination to China Lake Propulsion Lab sites. Individual purchases under these agreements will not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and payments will be made via Government Purchase Credit cards or electronic invoice submission through Wide Area Workflow. An anticipated Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 is required for this program.
Responses must include a capabilities statement specifying whether the firm is a manufacturer or a supplier, along with the vendor’s Cage Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEID). While the final response deadline is July 10, 2026, the government will add qualified small business vendors on a rolling basis throughout the lifetime of the program. The solicitation includes two attachments: the primary solicitation document and a list of chemical commodities.
