Gym Membership Services BPA - AUS

The U.S. Oversight and Support Group – Australia has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ FA523426Q0020) to establish multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for gym membership services in Australia. This procurement is conducted as full and open competition under NAICS code 713940, and is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and the Australia Free Trade Agreement. Amendment 0001 incorporates a Questions and Answers document to address vendor inquiries from the Request for Information (RFI) period. It does not alter the core requirements, Performance Work Statement (PWS), or the quote submission deadline of October 06, 2026, at 07:30 AM AEST. Offerors must formally acknowledge this amendment to avoid potential rejection of their quotes. The government's preferred procurement model is the Preferred Transferable Membership Slot, though standard individual memberships are also accepted. Vendors are not required to service all geographic locations or offer every membership type to be eligible for a BPA. BPA establishment will be evaluated on a pass/fail compliance basis, with price used as the sole factor to determine fairness and reasonableness. No technical proposals are required, as submitting a quote attests to the vendor's capability to meet PWS standards. The preferred currency is Australian Dollars (AUD), and payments will be processed via Direct Bank Transfer, Government-Wide Purchase Card, or Wide-Area Workflow. Master BPAs do not obligate funds; individual firm-fixed-price Call Orders will be competed among the established BPA holders.

However, there is an immediate need in Canberra and Brisbane, with other locations included for future flexibility. - **Payment Terms:** Payments can be made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) in AUD into a U.S.-based bank account capable of accepting AUD wire transfers. - **Membership Model:** The Government confirmed that its preferred Transferable Membership Slot model allows a membership to remain assigned to a primary location while permitting usage at other participating clubs, with the ability to reassign the slot to another individual at no additional cost.

This combined synopsis/solicitation (FA523426Q0020) is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) by the Oversight Support Group – Australia to establish a multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for gym membership services. The acquisition is solicited as full and open competition under NAICS code 713940 (Size Standard: $17.5M) and is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and the Australia Free Trade Agreement. The Government's preferred model is the Preferred Transferable Membership Slot, which allows reassignment of memberships without extra fees, though standard individual memberships are also accepted. Vendors are not required to cover all locations or membership types to be eligible. Master BPAs will be established with all responsible offerors who submit compliant, conforming quotes with pricing determined to be fair and reasonable; there is no comparative ranking for on-ramping. Quotes must be submitted via email by October 06, 2026. Submissions will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis for completeness, including a signed Price List (Attachment 02) and quoting in an acceptable currency. Australian Dollars (AUD) is the preferred currency, and while conversion to USD may occur for evaluation, all payments will be made in AUD via Direct Bank Transfer, Government-Wide Purchase Card, or Wide-Area Workflow. No funds are obligated at the BPA level; binding obligations are established only through subsequent Call Orders.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines requirements for a decentralized, multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide commercial gym memberships for eligible U.S. Government personnel stationed throughout Australia. The primary objective is to help personnel maintain mandated fitness standards where government-owned facilities are unavailable or inadequate. The geographic scope spans key metropolitan and regional hubs across Australia, though contractors may offer partial geographic coverage. All participating facilities must comply with Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws, maintain high hygiene standards, and provide a comprehensive range of functional fitness, cardiovascular, and strength-training equipment. The government’s preferred procurement structure is the "Preferred Transferable Membership Slot" model, which allows membership terms (offered in Month-to-Month, 3-Month, or 12-Month increments) to be reassigned to incoming personnel without additional fees if an individual departs. Standard individual, non-transferable memberships are accepted as an alternative. The BPA establishes an administrative ceiling of $2,500,000 USD over a maximum five-year ordering period. Individual Call Orders at or below the $25,000 USD Micro-Purchase Threshold may be placed by designated Authorized Callers, while larger orders require a Contracting Officer. Call Orders are competed based on best value, evaluating pricing alongside non-price factors like geographic proximity and membership flexibility. Contractors must submit monthly active roster reports once active orders commence and comply with Section 889 telecommunications regulations.

Unpriced items will be marked as "Not Offered." - **Currency and Taxes:** The preferred currency is Australian Dollars (AUD). If another currency is used, it must be listed on the U.S. Treasury Reporting Rates of Exchange. All submitted prices must exclude the Goods and Services Tax (GST). - **Price Validity:** Prices must remain firm and valid for at least one year from the BPA award. Contractors must notify the Contracting Officer of any commercial rate changes within 48 hours, though modifications only take effect upon formal government acceptance. - **Administrative Fees:** One-time initiation and physical key-fob/access-card fees apply only to initial activations. No additional fees may be charged to the government or members for personnel reassignments under "Preferred Transferable Slots." - **Completeness:** To be considered for award, submissions must include completed vendor details and a signed "Vendor Acknowledgment and Certification of Pricing" by an authorized representative.

This document is Attachment 03 (Monthly Active Roster Report) for a federal Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) solicitation (FA523426Q0020) to provide gym membership services in Australia.

Pursuant to Performance Work Statement (PWS) paragraph 7.1.1, the contractor must submit this report to the Contracting Officer and Authorized Callers by the 10th day of each calendar month covering the previous month's activities. This reporting requirement is only triggered once the contractor has at least one active Call Order and active membership. The template requires the contractor to record key membership details, including: - Membership ID and Assigned Personnel Name - Membership Structure (prioritizing the government's preferred "Preferred Transferable Slot" model over secondary, non-transferable "Standard Individual" memberships) - Access Level and Primary Facility Location - Duration Type (which must match PWS paragraph 1.4.3 options: Month-to-Month, 3-Month, or 12-Month) - Term Start/Expiration Dates and Current Status (e.g., Active, On Hold) Additionally, the report features a monthly summary section to aggregate the total counts of preferred transferable slots, standard individual memberships, active members, and accounts on hold.
