Blanket Purchase Agreements or BPAs establish a method for the Government to satisfy a repetitive need for goods and services. When a government-wide need exists for specific products or services, a BPA allows the Government to establish a single contract to satisfy those needs. Creating a single source for common needs enables the Government to use buying power to drive down prices and avoid the higher costs associated with hundreds or thousands of customers purchasing independently.
