BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (BPA) INSTRUCTIONS

**UPDATES**

12/15/06 -- Change required by FAC 2005-15 (update) (52.212-4)

12/13/06 - Change required by FAC 2005-14 (update) (52.212-5)

**[This BPA shall not be used as a pre-paid authorization to purchase
tickets. In addition, BPA's for taxi/transportation services shall be
awarded to a minimum of three vendors. Calls for services under this BPA
shall rotate equitably among the BPA holders]{.underline}**

Placing Orders

BPA orders are generally placed orally or in person. When authorized by
the BPA to place an order, you should provide the vendor with the
following information:

1.  Title, name and office of the caller. This must be with an
    authorized ordering person cited in the BPA as an authorized caller.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  BPA Number

2.  Date Order is Placed

3.  Services desired and quantities. The unit prices and extension of
    prices less discounts must be agreed upon at this point.

4.  Date of Service

5.  At a minimum include the BPA number and the ordering office.

**Documenting Orders Placed Against BPAs**

Any purchase made pursuant to this agreement will be based on quotations
obtained orally by telephone or personal contact at the time the
Government's need for the service arises by an ordering
official/authorized caller. The authorized caller who places the order,
will provide full information of the time and location where the vehicle
must be. The vendor shall provide the all information of the vehicle
(plate number, color and make and model of the vehicle). After the
service has been provided, the driver shall fill out the ticket which
must indicate the date of service, origin, destination and purpose of
trip. The ticket must be signed by the embassy employee. The employee in
turn submits their copy of the ticket to the authorized caller and/or
BPA Administrator.

Like all other purchases, the BPA must be backed by a commitment of
funds. To ensure adequate funding, it is essential to maintain records
of all orders placed against a BPA. Attached is a copy of the log that
must be maintained. **The log shall be sent to the Financial Management
Office by the fifth work** day of each month and a **copy to the GSO**
office for filing with the official BPA file and reporting transactions
to the State/Federal Procurement Data System (S/FPDS).

The use of BPAs does not exempt us from the responsibility for keeping
obligations and expenditures within committed funds. If the BPA was
backed by a commitment of bulk funds, **it is your responsibility to
ensure that funding levels are not exceeded**, to avoid an
Anti-Deficiency Act violation. Contact the Financial Management Office
well in advance, if additional funding will be required.

**Invoices**

Invoices will be submitted directly to the Financial Management Office
for payment. Upon receipt of the supplies or services, you must sign the
vendor's delivery ticket receipt. The vendor must attach a copy of these
receipts with its invoice.

**Authorized Callers**

Only authorized callers named in the BPA may place orders against this
BPA. The Contracting Officer must make deletions or additions of
authorized callers through a modification to the BPA. Notify the GSO
Office of any proposed changes.

**Review**

We are required to review BPAs annually. Please notify the GSO Office of
any problems concerning the BPA. Contact the GSO Office if the BPA is no
longer needed or if additional vendors for the same supplies or services
need to be issued a BPA.

Questions regarding this BPA should be referred to the Contracting
Officer/GSO.

-   Can handle routine work-related interactions that are limited in
    scope.

-   In more complex and sophisticated work-related tasks, usage
    generally disturbs the native speaker.

-   Can handle with confidence, but not with facility, most normal
    high-frequency social conversational situations, including extensive
    but casual conversations about current events, as well as work,
    family, and autobiographical information.

-   The individual can comprehend most everyday conversations, but has
    some difficulty understanding native speakers in situations that
    require specialized or sophisticated knowledge

-   The individual's utterances are minimally cohesive to articulate
    basic concepts.

-   Linguistic structure is usually not very elaborate and not
    thoroughly controlled; errors are frequent.

-   Vocabulary use is appropriate for high-frequency utterances, but
    unusual or imprecise elsewhere.

***Examples:***

1.  *While these interactions will vary widely from individual to
    individual, the individual can typically ask and answer predictable
    questions in the workplace and give straightforward instructions to
    subordinates.*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  *The individual can participate in personal and accommodation-type
    interactions with elaboration and facility; that is, can give and
    understand complicated, detailed and extensive directions and make
    non-routine changes in travel and accommodation arrangements.*

2.  *Simple structures and basic grammatical relations are typically
    controlled; however, there are areas of weakness.*

3.  *In the commonly taught languages, these \[areas of weakness\] may
    be simple markings such as plurals, articles, linking words, and
    negatives, or more complex structures such as tense/aspect usage,
    case morphology, passive constructions, word order, and embedding.*

> [Local Knowledge]{.underline}

DEPARTMENT OF STATE ACQUISITION REGULATION (48 CFR Chapter 6) CLAUSES

The following clause is provided in full text, and is applicable for
orders for services:

652.228-71 WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE ACT) - SERVICES
(JUN 2006)

\(a\) This clause supplements FAR 52.228-3. For the purposes of this
clause, "covered contractor employees" includes the following
individuals:

\(1\) United States citizens or residents;

\(2\) Individuals hired in the United States or its possessions,
regardless of citizenship; and

\(3\) Local nationals and third country nationals where contract
performance takes place in a country where there are no local workers'
compensation laws.

\(b\) The Contractor shall procure Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance
pursuant to the terms of the contract between the Department of State
and the Department's DBA insurance carrier for covered contractor
employees, unless the Contractor has a DBA self-insurance program
approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall submit a copy
of the Department of Labor's approval to the contracting officer upon
contract award, if applicable.

\(c\) The current rate under the Department of State contract is
\[*contracting officer insert rate*\] of compensation for services.

\(d\) The Contractor shall insert a clause substantially the same as
this in all subcontracts. The Contractor shall require that
subcontractors insert a similar clause in any of their subcontracts.

\(e\) Should the rates for DBA insurance coverage increase or decrease
during the performance of this contract, the contracting officer shall
modify this contract accordingly.

\(f\) The Contractor shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
contracting officer that the equitable adjustment as a result of the
insurance increase or decrease does not include any reserve for such
insurance. Adjustment shall not include any overhead, profit, general
and administrative expenses, etc.

(g)(1) Section 16 of the State Basic Authorities Act (22 U.S.C. 2680a),
as amended, provides that the Defense Base Act shall not apply with
respect to such contracts as the Secretary of State determines are
contracts with persons employed to perform work for the Department of
State on an intermittent basis for not more than 90 days in a calendar
year. "Persons" includes individuals hired by companies under contract
with the Department. The Procurement Executive has the authority to
issue the waivers for Contractor employees who work on an intermittent
or short-term basis.

\(2\) The Contractor shall submit waiver requests to the contracting
officer. The request shall contain the following information:

\(i\) Contract number;

\(ii\) Name of Contractor;

\(iii\) Brief description of the services to be provided under the
contract and country of performance;

\(iv\) Name and position title of individual(s);

\(v\) Nationality of individual(s) (must be U.S. citizen or U.S.
resident);

\(vi\) Dates (or timeframe) of performance at the overseas location;
and,

\(vii\) Evidence of alternative workers' compensation coverage for these
employees (e.g., evidence that the State workers' compensation program
covers workers on short-term foreign assignments).

\(3\) The contracting officer shall provide to the Contractor the
original of the approved or disapproved document and maintain a copy in
the contract file.
