Frequently Asked Questions
If there is only one BPA contractor for a particular software publisher, may the ordering officer make a direct award to the BPA contractor without giving fair opportunity to each of the participating dealers?
Per FAR 8.405-3(c)(2), the requirement to provide fair opportunity applies to BPA contractors. There is no regulatory requirement to provide fair opportunity to authorized dealers.
