NOTE REGARDING GSA CONTRACTING
- Executive Branch Agencies are prohibited from direct use of federal supply contracts (GSAs). However, when an Agency has an immediate need for goods or services provided under a GSA, it can ask the State Purchasing Division to create a price agreement based on that GSA.
- The New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) specifies at Section 1.4.1.66 NMAC: "…a state agency shall not procure services, construction or items of tangible personal property directly under a general services administration (GSA) contract. Rather a state agency must procure pursuant to a state purchasing agent price agreement[.]" If such a price agreement does not exist for the services, construction or items of tangible personal property the Agency wishes to procure, the Agency may submit a GSA request on the State Purchasing Division's website.
- State Purchasing approval of a price agreement using a GSA contract routinely takes a few days. Copies of the price agreement are then provided to the requesting Agency and the vendor.
