            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 8_REQUIRED SOURCES OF SUPPLIES AND SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

                  Subpart 8.4_Federal Supply Schedules

 

Sec. 8.405-4  Price reductions.



    In addition to seeking price reductions before placing an order 

exceeding the maximum order threshold (see 8.405-1(d)), or in 

conjunction with the annual BPA review, there may be other reasons to 

request a price reduction. For example, ordering activities should seek 

a price reduction when the supply or service is available elsewhere at a 

lower price, or when establishing a BPA to fill recurring requirements. 

The potential volume of orders under BPAs, regardless of the size of 

individual orders, offers the opportunity to secure greater discounts. 

Schedule contractors are not required to pass on to all schedule users a 

price reduction extended only to an individual ordering activity for a 

specific order.
