BPAs are established with one or more vendors for anticipated recurring needs. They are not contracts themselves but agreements that facilitate future purchases. Individual orders (calls) against a BPA are the actual purchases. BPAs are commonly used for office supplies, maintenance services, training, and other recurring needs. They can be established under GSA Schedules or through standalone agreements.
A military base establishes a BPA with a local parts supplier. When maintenance crews need replacement parts, they place calls against the BPA at pre-negotiated prices. No new solicitation is needed for each order.
