    (a) This subpart prescribes policies and procedures applicable to 
interagency acquisitions under the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535). The 
Economy Act also provides authority for placement of orders between 
major organizational units within an agency; procedures for such intra-
agency transactions are addressed in agency regulations.
    (b) The Economy Act applies when more specific statutory authority 
does not exist. Examples of interagency acquisitions to which the 
Economy Act does not apply include--
    (1) Acquisitions from required or optional sources of supplies 
prescribed in Part 8, which have separate statutory authority (e.g., 
Federal Supply Schedule contracts); and
    (2) Acquisitions using Governmentwide acquisition contracts.
