Sec. 101-26.102-1  General.



    The special buying services of GSA are performed through the GSA 

special order program (SOP). The SOP allows an agency to obtain items 

not included in either the GSA stock or Federal Supply Schedule program. 

All executive agencies within the United States (including Hawaii and 

Alaska), in order to maximize the use of the Government's centralized 

supply system, shall request SOP items by submitting requisitions for 

GSA centrally managed items to GSA. GSA will process all requisitions 

for SOP items, regardless of total line item value, from activities 

electing to purchase from GSA. If an agency determines that alternative 

sources are more favorable, procurement from other sources is 

authorized: Provided, that the dollar thresholds and criteria outlined 

in Sec. 101-26.301(b)(1) through (3) are followed.
