Sec. 101-25.101-3  Supply through consolidated purchase for direct 

delivery to use points.



    The following criteria shall govern in determining whether an item 

can be most advantageously supplied through consolidated purchase for 

direct delivery to use points:

    (a) The items shall be equipment or supply items of such a character 

that it is feasible to forecast requirements for delivery to specific 

use points; and

    (b) Conditions exist where any of the following factors requires 

consolidated purchasing of such items for direct delivery to use 

points--

    (1) Where greatest price advantage, both direct and indirect costs 

considered, is obtainable through large definite quantity purchasing.

    (2) Where an item is of special manufacture or design and is not 

readily available from commercial sources.

    (3) Where market conditions are such that central procurement is 

required to assure adequate supply.

    (4) Where contracts for production quantities are necessary to 

secure timely deliveries and advantageous prices.

    (5) Where the quantity is large enough to assure lowest 

transportation costs or, conversely, where transportation costs for 

small quantity redistribution are so excessive that it is not feasible 

to store and issue the items.
