Blanket purchase agreements were designed to streamline the ordering process. This explains why BPAs are covered in FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions. Having to solicit individual orders on FBO would defeat the purpose of establishing BPAs. While BPAs are competitively awarded, there is also a requirement to ensure maximum practicable competition among the BPA holders for individual orders. FAR 13.503-5 fully explains the contracting officer's responsibilities when placing orders against established BPAs.
