Ordering Procedures
Under the $2,500 Micro-purchase Threshold:
- Prepare a Statement of Work (SOW). The Contract Officer (CO) may order from any schedule contractor of their choice.
Over the $2,500 Micro-purchase Threshold, but under $5,000,000:
- Program Staff should provide the CO with a SOW including a description of the work required, a schedule, and the location for delivery and inspection of the work.
- The CO or Program Staff will issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) containing the SOW to at least three contractors on the 874-2 schedule. The best mechanism for this process is E-buy on www.gsaadvantage.gov where all correspondence is electronic, thus speeding up the process significantly.
- When a buyer, such as a program official, does not have authority to make an award, they can forward the RFQ, with the quotes received, to a person with authority (the Contract Officer) so the award can be made quickly using eBuy or the Agency system.
- Program staff and the CO review the responses and rates received to determine the best value, looking beyond lowest price to, for example, delivery, training required, and past performance.
- The CO issues a purchase order (or through eBuy) to the selectee using their GSA contract.
Orders over the Maximum Order Threshold ($5,000,000):
- Follow the above procedure for orders over $2,500.
- Send the SOW to more than three GSA FSS 874-2 contract holders.
- Seek price reductions from contractors that represent “Best Value.”
- Place your order with the contractor offering the “Best Value.”
Detailed ordering guidelines are found in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.4.
