Federal Supply Schedule blanket purchase agreement (BPA) or an individual task or delivery
order, only if-

on the Federal Supply Schedule have been followed (e.g., publicizing (Part 5),
competition requirements (Part 6), acquisition of commercial items (Part 12), contracting
methods (Parts 13, 14, and 15), and small business programs (Part 19));
(2) The ordering activity contracting officer has determined the price for the items not
on the Federal Supply Schedule is fair and reasonable;
