Sec. 2917.504  Ordering procedures.



    (a) Requests for the processing of interagency agreements must be 

submitted to the procurement office serving the requisitioning office.

    (b) The procurement request must state whether the work is to be 

performed by a DOL organization, a Federal agency other than DOL, or 

through one of these entities by a contractor.

    (c) Where the Economy Act is to be used as the authority for an 

interagency acquisition, the requisitioning office must include the 

facts which support the conclusion that it is more economical to obtain 

the required supplies or services through the proposed interagency 

agreement, rather than by direct contract with a commercial concern. 

Current market prices or recent procurement prices may be used in this 

process.

    (d) Orders placed under interagency agreements may take any form 

that is legally sufficient and reflects the agreement of the parties.

    (e) The contracting officer, or authorized official, must assure 

compliance with the ordering procedures and payment provisions 

prescribed in FAR 17.504 and FAR 17.505, and require inclusion of the 

following provisions in all interagency agreements and/or orders placed 

against them:

    (1) Legislative authority;

    (2) Period of performance;

    (3) Dollar amount of agreement;

    (4) Billing provisions, including the name and address of the 

following offices:

    (i) Designated office to receive the required deliverables; and

    (ii) Designated office to receive billings and process payments;

    (5) Modification and termination provisions; and

    (6) Other provisions, as appropriate.

    (f) The contracting officer must assure that each interagency 

agreement or order placed against it includes a reference number 

assigned by each of the parties. Such numbers must be assigned in 

accordance with the existing procedures established by the respective 

organizations.

    (g) Modifications to existing interagency agreements may be 

accomplished through the use of an SF 30, Amendment of Solicitation/

Modification of Contract, or through any other format acceptable to the 

parties.
