OrdersplacedpursuanttoaMultipleAwardSchedule(MAS),usingtheproceduresinFAR8.404,areconsideredtobe issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when placing orders under Federal SupplySchedules,orderingactivitiesneednotseekfurthercompetition,synopsizetherequirement,makeaseparatedeterminationoffair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set-asides in accordance with subpart 19.5. GSA hasalreadydetermined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. By placing an order againsta

scheduleusingtheproceduresoutlinedbelow,theorderingactivityhasconcludedthattheorderrepresentsthebestvalueandresultsinthelowestoverallcostalternative(consideringprice,specialfeatures,administrativecosts,etc.)to meet the ordering activity’sneeds.
a.Orders placed at or below the micro-purchase threshold. ordering activities can place orders at or belowthemicro-purchase threshold with any Federal Supply ScheduleContractor.
b.Ordersexceedingthemicro-purchasethresholdbutnotexceedingthemaximumorderthreshold. Orders shouldbeplacedwiththeScheduleContractorthatcanprovidethesupplyorservicethatrepresentsthebestvalue.

Inselectingthesupplyorservicerepresentingthebestvalue, theorderingactivitymayconsider--
(1)Specialfeaturesofthesupplyorservicethatarerequiredineffectiveprogramperformanceandthat are not provided by a comparable supply orservice;
(2)Trade-inconsiderations;
(3)Probable life of the item selected as compared with that of a comparableitem;
(4)Warrantyconsiderations;
(5)Maintenanceavailability;
(6)Past performance;and
(7)Environmental and energy efficiencyconsiderations.
c.Orders exceeding the maximum order threshold. Each schedule contract has an established maximumorderthreshold. This threshold represents the point where it is advantageous for the ordering activity to seek apricereduction. In addition to following the procedures in paragraph b, above, and before placing an order thatexceedsthe maximum order threshold, ordering activitiesshall--
Review additional ScheduleContractors’
(1)catalogs/pricelistsorusethe―GSAAdvantage!‖on-lineshoppingservice;

(3)After price reductions have been sought, place the order with the Schedule Contractorthatprovides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative. If further price reductions arenotoffered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering activity determines that it isappropriate.
NOTE: For orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the Contractormay:
(1)Offeranewlowerpriceforthisrequirement(thePriceReductionsclauseisnotapplicabletoordersplaced over the maximum order in FAR 52.216-19 OrderLimitations);

e.Price reductions. In addition to the circumstances outlined in paragraph c, above, there may beinstanceswhen ordering activities will find it advantageous to request a price reduction. For example, when theorderingactivityfindsaschedulesupplyorserviceelsewhereatalowerpriceorwhenaBPAisbeingestablishedtofillrecurring requirements, requesting a price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of ordersunder

theseagreements,regardlessofthesizeoftheindividualorder,mayoffertheorderingactivitytheopportunitytosecure greater discounts. Schedule Contractors are not required to pass on to all schedule users a pricereductionextendedonlytoanindividualorderingactivityforaspecificorder.

g.Documentation. Orders should be documented, at a minimum, by identifying the Contractor the itemwaspurchased from, the item purchased, and the amount paid. If an ordering activity requirement, in excess ofthemicro-purchase threshold, is defined so as to require a particular brand name, product, or feature of aproductpeculiartoonemanufacturer,therebyprecludingconsiderationofaproductmanufacturedbyanothercompany,theorderingactivityshallincludeanexplanationinthefileastowhytheparticularbrandname,product,orfeatureisessential to satisfy the ordering activity’sneeds.
