Provisions in a solicitation for the establishment of blanket purchase agreements for crew carrier bus services that allow for the establishment of one blanket purchase agreement at one geographic area for each piece of equipment offered and do not allow for the establishment of multiple blanket purchase agreements at multiple locations for the same piece of equipment, are unobjectionable, where the agency has reasonably explained its need for such provisions.
