                        Subpart 101-26.1_General

 

Sec. 101-26.106  Consolidation of requirements.



    Full consideration shall be given to the consolidation of individual 

small volume requirements to enable the Government to benefit from lower 

prices normally obtainable through definite quantity contracts for 

larger volume procurements. This policy pertains to procurement from 

commercial sources either directly or through an intermediary agency and 

does not apply to GSA stock items or small volume requirements normally 

obtained from GSA customer supply centers. When it is practical, each 

agency shall establish procedures that will permit planned requirements 

consolidation on an agencywide basis. When it is impractical to plan 

requirements on an agencywide consolidated basis, the requirements 

consolidation effort may be limited to a bureau, to other agency 

segments, or to a program, if such limited consolidation will provide 

significant price advantages when procurement is effected on a volume 

basis. Requisitions for item requirements exceeding maximum order 

limitations in Federal Supply Schedule contracts shall be submitted to 

GSA in accordance with the applicable instructions in the respective 

schedules. Special buying services desired by agencies for procurement 

of other consolidated item requirements shall be requested from GSA in 

accordance with Sec. 101-26.102.
