Wasp is a general term referring to a group of related insects in the order Hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants). Although some wasps are solitary, i.e. just one adult female per nest, this publication discusses social wasps, i.e. multiple individuals sharing one nest. Most social wasps belong to the family Vespidae (sometimes referred to as vespid wasps). There are three types of social wasps in the upper Midwest.
Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) 13.303-1 General. A blanket purchase agreement (BPA) is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing charge accounts with qualified sources of supply (see Subpart 16.7 for additional coverage of agreements).
Similar to other procurement contracts, blanket purchase orders clearly state the specifications of what the buyer is purchasing. Disputes over quality can be easily resolved by referring to the blanket purchase agreement. When a buyer needs to make a purchase using the blanket PO, they issue a release against it.
