Kid Acquisition Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The FAR, at least from what I can find, doesn't talk about cancelation of blanket purchase agreements. Is there a generally accepted practice for canceling them? thanks in advance for responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 What kind of BPA are you talking about: one under FAR Subpart 8.4 or one under FAR Subpart 13.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Acquisition Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yes, 13.3.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Assuming that it's an ordinary BPA, there is no legal requirement for written or other formal cancellation. Some offices might send a letter or an email. I think a courtesy notice would be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of research on the web and found this to be a general practice but wanted to be certain before moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Culham Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Probably stating the obvious but in some cases there may be internal agency procedures related to your own policy/regulations/acquisition systems that you have that require some formality (or not) beyond that interpreted through a read of the FAR.
