How to Order
How to Order
BPA products are procured and managed on a decentralized basis. This means BPA orders (adhoc) and funding are executed by the end user's Ordering Office who will ensure compliance with the ordering guide. ELA products are procured and managed by SSC PAC. This means individual end user organizations will send funding to SSC PAC Contracts to be obligated for processing.
Activities should coordinate with their respective organization/program office and follow their current ordering/funding processes to place orders under this agreement.
