            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 13_SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart 13.3_Simplified Acquisition Methods
 
Sec.  13.306  SF 44, Purchase Order--Invoice--Voucher.

    The SF 44, Purchase Order--Invoice--Voucher, is a multipurpose 
pocket-size purchase order form designed primarily for on-the-spot, 
over-the-counter purchases of supplies and nonpersonal services while 
away from the purchasing office or at isolated activities. It also can 
be used as a receiving report, invoice, and public voucher.
    (a) This form may be used if all of the following conditions are 
satisfied:
    (1) The amount of the purchase is at or below the micro-purchase 
threshold, except for purchases made under unusual and compelling 
urgency or in support of contingency operations. Agencies may establish 
higher dollar limitations for specific activities or items;
    (2) The supplies or services are immediately available;
    (3) One delivery and one payment will be made; and
    (4) Its use is determined to be more economical and efficient than 
use of other simplified acquisition procedures.
    (b) General procedural instructions governing the form's use are 
printed on the form and on the inside front cover of each book of forms.
    (c) Since there is, for all practical purposes, simultaneous 
placement of the order and delivery of the items, clauses are not 
required for purchases using this form.
    (d) Agencies shall provide adequate safeguards regarding the control 
of forms and accounting for purchases.
