The FAR, at least from what I can find, doesn't talk about cancelation of blanket purchase agreements. Is there a generally accepted practice for canceling them? thanks in advance for responses.

What kind of BPA are you talking about: one under FAR Subpart 8.4 or one under FAR Subpart 13.3?

Assuming that it's an ordinary BPA, there is no legal requirement for written or other formal cancellation. Some offices might send a letter or an email. I think a courtesy notice would be appropriate.

Thank you for the information. I did a bit of research on the web and found this to be a general practice but wanted to be certain before moving forward.

Probably stating the obvious but in some cases there may be internal agency procedures related to your own policy/regulations/acquisition systems that you have that require some formality (or not) beyond that interpreted through a read of the FAR.
