Sec. 101-26.100-1  Procurement of lowest cost items.



    GSA provides lines of similar items to meet particular end-use 

requirements under the GSA stock program, special order program (SOP) 

established source, and the Federal Supply Schedule program. Although 

these similar items may differ in terms of price, quality, and essential 

characteristics, they often can serve the same functional end-use 

procurement needs of the various ordering agencies. Therefore, in 

submitting requisitions or placing delivery orders for similar items 

obtainable from GSA sources, agencies shall utilize the source from 

which the lowest cost item can be obtained which will adequately serve 

the functional end-use purpose.
