What Is the SCRIPTS BPA?
The SCRIPTS BPA seeks to help mitigate risks of fraud, abuse and adversarial exploitation of the supply chain.
Through this procurement vehicle, the Department of Defense and federal civilian executive branch agencies will have access to deployable supply chain risk illumination tools for vendor vetting, cyber hygiene and foreign ownership control and influence, among others, to help screen vendors and evaluate supplier risks in real time.
In October 2023, GSA issued a draft request for quote for the BPA, which has a five-year base term and a five-year option period.
