BPA was
established in 1937 as a Federal Power
Marketing Agency in the Pacific
Northwest. BPA operations are financed
from power revenues rather than annual
appropriations. BPA’s purchasing
operations are conducted under 16
U.S.C. 832 et seq. and related statutes.
Pursuant to these special authorities, the
BPI is promulgated as a statement of
purchasing policy and as a body of
interpretative regulations governing the
conduct of BPA purchasing activities. It
is significantly different from the
Federal Acquisition Regulation, and
reflects BPA’s private sector approach to
purchasing the goods and services that
it requires. BPA’s financial assistance
operations are conducted under 16
U.S.C. 839 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 839 et
seq. The BFAI express BPA’s financial
assistance policy. The BFAI also
comprise BPA’s rules governing
implementation of the principles
provided in the following Federal
Regulations and/or OMB circulars:
2 CFR part 220 Cost Principles for
Educational Institutions (CircularA–21);
2 CFR part 225 Cost Principles for
State, Local and Indian Tribal
Governments (Circular A–87);
Grants and Cooperative Agreements
with State and Local Governments
(Circular A–102);
Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants and
Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals and Other NonProfit Organizations (Circular A–110);
2 CFR part 230 Cost Principles for
Non-Profit Organizations (Circular A–
122); and
Audits of States, Local Governments
and Non-Profit Organizations (Circular
A–133)
BPA’s solicitations and contracts
include notice of applicability and
availability of the BPI and the BFAI, as
appropriate, for the information for
offerors on particular purchases or
financial assistance transactions.
