CONTRACTORS

PROGRAM: PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT CONTRACT AUDIT (PACA) – SPECIAL AUDITS

DATE: 03 November 2026

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Intent of Solicitation

The Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI) intends to award up to three (3) Nonappropriated Fund Purchasing Agreements (NPAs) from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose quotes, conforming to the solicitation, are determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). This multiple-award strategy is designed to ensure a robust pool of qualified CPA firms to perform specialized audits on an as-needed basis.

1.2 Award of Delivery Orders

Following the award of the master NPAs, the NAFI reserves the right to issue individual Delivery Orders (DOs) for specific audit engagements to any of the successful prime contractors. The selection for DOs will be based on a best-value determination for each specific requirement, considering factors such as the contractor’s availability, specialized experience relevant to the DO, and overall benefit to the NAFI. This provides the Government with the flexibility to rotate tasking among the pool of awardees.
