Quick Hitter: DFARS Part 251

Just as with my Quick Hitters on the FAR and GSAR, my Quick Hitter series on the DFARS is meant to simplify contracting business with the government. This time with DoD.

DFARS 252.251.7000 Ordering From Government Supply Sources

Schedules used by DoD include the FSS, Personal Property Rehabilitation Price Schedules and Enterprise Software Agreements. The contractor is bound by the language within those solicitations or the language of the agreement.

Each order must include an authorization to use the specified schedule or agreement, a statement granting legal power to the base FSS contract even if an ISA is under a FSS-BPA, the addresses of mail, billing and freight, a statement granting legal hierarchy to the base GSA contract if using the GSA-ORM arm of contracting, use 1948-A if ordering reimbursable stock through GSA and pay the invoice within 30 days if ordering reimbursable stock through DoD (failure to do so may terminate DoD stock privileges), use authorization from your CO or the 511R on DLMS, the contractor must receive a statement of authorization from the CO for their subcontractor(s) to use government supply sources and invoices will be sent to the contractor’s address and payments will be sent to the government’s remittance address.

DOD and the federal government go to great links to ensure that awarded contractors can fulfill their obligations. They also want to ensure efficiency from there COs. If the government has something you need then don’t be hesitant to request. It’s almost like renting tools from Home Depot.
