Government Sources Clause Samples

Government Sources. The Contracting Officer has determined it to be in the Government's best interest to authorize Ship Managers to use Government supply sources to purchase cost-reimbursable supply items for Government use. This authorization is provided for use on a voluntary basis and significant use of the authorization will be considered as Observable Quality Evidence (OQE) demonstrating superior business processes in the expenditures and obligations of funds authorized by Task Order to reduce costs under Performance Element 6-1 Effective Management and Control of Costs. To implement this provision, each Ship Manager will receive a letter of authorization from the PCO for each ship management contract they have been awarded by the Maritime Administration for use in placing orders to acquire supply items from Government supply sources (see FAR 51.103 Ordering from Government supply sources). Before placing orders with Government supply sources, the Ship Manager will need to coordinate with the ACO for assistance in obtaining any necessary activity address codes and for use of the proper ordering forms where specified (see 51.102, 51.103 and 51.104).
