Sec. 102-85.50  When does availability of funding have to be certified?

    The customer agency must sign an OA prior to GSA's making any major 
contractual commitments associated with the space request. Typically, 
this should occur at the earliest possible opportunity-i.e., when funds 
become available. However, in no event shall certification occur later 
than just prior to the award of the contract to a design architect in 
the case of Federal construction or renovation in Federally owned space 
or prior to the award of a lease. This serves as a customer agency's 
funding commitment unless certification is provided on another document.
