Streamline assessment, purchasing, installation and more
Except for the U.S. Postal Service, all federal agencies must acquire their vehicles using the services provided by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The GSA has issued 16 blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) to help simplify the purchasing of EV charging and related services for the federal fleet.
These BPAs enable federal civilian agencies and the military to place orders directly with EV charging providers and move through the procurement process more quickly. This speed will be vital in reaching the administration's 100% zero-emissions fleet goals by 2035.
The federal government has only 1% of the chargers it needs to electrify its federal fleet according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
GSA BPAs help federal agencies purchase new EVs as well as the infrastructure needed to keep them charged up and running smoothly. BPAs:
Aggregate buying power
Support a range of charging scenarios and ownership needs
Adhere to security and supply chain requirements
Include site assessment and planning services
Address hardware, software and installation
The BPA process enables your agency to connect with partners who understand all of these requirements and can help you plan and carry out your charging implementation.
The BPA process ensures that agencies are working with reputable, knowledgable EV charging providers. All contractors are vetted to offer the best value products and services. Orders are issued using full and open competition and hold significant advantages over the acquisition of commercial items.
