       Subpart 17.5_Interagency Acquisitions Under the Economy Act

 

Sec. 17.500  Scope of subpart.



    Source: 60 FR 49721, Sept. 26, 1995, unless otherwise noted.





    (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.
