Contracting   System   activities   who   have   been granted  such  authority  are  authorized  to  place BPAs  when  either  there  is  a  repetitive  need  or the  use  of  the  BPA  is  administratively  more economical  and  efficient  than  any  other  small purchase   method.   No   BPA   call   can   exceed $25,000  and  calls  for  subsistence  are  unlimited  as to   dollar   value.   Notwithstanding   the   above thresholds,  no  BPA  call  may  exceed  the  con- tracting  authority  of  your  ship  or  command placing the call. The  use  of  a  BPA  does  not  authorize  pur- chases that are not otherwise authorized by law or  regulation.  For  example,  the  existence  of  a BPA  does  not  justify  sole  source  purchasing  or avoiding  small  business-small  purchase  set-asides. The rules distributing purchases among qualified suppliers  for  purchases  in  excess  of  $2,500  and for seeking competitive quotations for purchases in  excess  of  $2,500  apply  to  each  call  under  a BPA.  If  there  is  not  enough  BPAs  to  have  a competitive  and  equal  distribution  of  business, you or the supply officer should make additional solicitations from other companies. You then can take  action  to  establish  additional  BPAs  for  future uses. Establishment of Authorized Callers BPA  calls  may  be  made  by  individuals  from your ship or command who entered into the BPA. The   supply   officer   or   contracting   officer   who issued  the  BPA  can  authorize  other  activities  who have been granted contracting authority to place calls under his or her BPA. You cannot authorize a different command to use your BPAs unless that command  has  a  contracting  officer. For you to authorize your personnel to make authorized calls on BPAs, they have to attend a NAVSUP approved small purchase course. These authorized   individuals   must   be   appointed   as contracting   officers   by   a   certificate   of appointment.  (See  fig.  5-14.)  This  appointment Figure 5-14.—Certificate of appointment. 5-23
