SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BPA was 

established in 1937 as a Federal Power 

Marketing Agency in the Pacific 

Northwest. BPA operations are financed 

from power revenues rather than annual 

appropriations. BPA’s purchasing 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 832 et seq. and related statutes. 

Pursuant to these special authorities, the 

BPI is promulgated as a statement of 

purchasing policy and as a body of 

interpretative regulations governing the 

conduct of BPA purchasing activities. It 

is significantly different from the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation, and 

reflects BPA’s private sector approach to 

purchasing the goods and services that 

it requires. BPA’s financial assistance 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 839 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 839 et 

seq. The BFAI express BPA’s financial 

assistance policy. The BFAI also 

comprise BPA’s rules governing 

implementation of the principles 

provided in the following Federal 

Regulations and/or OMB circulars: 

2 CFR part 220 Cost Principles for 

Educational Institutions (CircularA–21); 

2 CFR part 225 Cost Principles for 

State, Local and Indian Tribal 

Governments (Circular A–87); 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

with State and Local Governments 

(Circular A–102); 

Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for Grants and 

Agreements with Institutions of Higher 

Education, Hospitals and Other NonProfit Organizations (Circular A–110); 

2 CFR part 230 Cost Principles for 

Non-Profit Organizations (Circular A– 

122); and 

Audits of States, Local Governments 

and Non-Profit Organizations (Circular 

A–133) 

BPA’s solicitations and contracts 

include notice of applicability and 

availability of the BPI and the BFAI, as 

appropriate, for the information for 

offerors on particular purchases or 

financial assistance transactions.
