(c)(3)(90) While BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contractors for both non-FSS items and FSS items, a distinction between such items should be made.
(91) A BPA with an FSS contractor for non-FSS items which can be construed to cover FSS items because of a generic item description should contain a statement to the effect that the BPA excludes all items on FSSs.
(92) If it is desired to establish a BPA with an FSS contractor for items on an FSS, the agreement shall be consistent with the provisions of the applicable FSS, i.e., period of agreement, terms and conditions. The terms of the agreement should be limited to a simplification of purchasing techniques, such as placement of calls orally and provisions for submitting monthly consolidated billings.
