<p>Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs, another type of purchasing vehicle) are used by government agencies to simplify the government purchasing process. A BPA allows authorized purchasers to place orders by telephone or in person with simplified documentation. The key is that BPAs usually refer to pricing established by another federal contract.
</p><p>GSA schedule revenues can be leveraged with the use of a BPA because, by using GSA pricing, the BPA pricing has already been negotiated by the government and competition requirements have been satisfied.
</p><p>Buyers using GSA schedule contracts to make a purchase are encouraged to use BPAs in conjunction with GSA schedules to satisfy reoccurring needs. Think of a BPA as an agreement to buy products from a vendor over and over at the GSA price. They are usually awarded using GSA prices on a sole source basis and are like an indefinite delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) within an IDIQ.
