The contractor submits price lists for the CO's approval, which are valid for a specific period of time (normally one year). The BPA will be written for a period of two (2) years, during which the Government is only obligated for authorized purchases made under the BPA. Therefore, a BPA does not include a minimum purchase requirement or maximum dollar limitation. The Government is not obligated to make any calls against the BPA, which may be cancelled by the Government or the contractor in accordance with the cancellation terms specified in the BPA Terms of Agreement.
