Government purchase card program

A significant portion of the supplies and services procured for the joint base are purchased using the government purchase card. Hundreds of government credit card holders at the joint base are authorized to buy products and services within the micro-purchase threshold.

Products: Not to exceed $3,500
Services: Not to exceed $2,500 
Construction: Not to exceed $2,000 
Purchases under Federal Supply Schedule: Not to exceed $25,000

The 502d Contracting squadron does not own or generate any of the requirements for supplies or services necessary to support the Joint Base. Our internal customers develop requirements based on a bona fide need and submit them to the contracting office for procurement.

Below are the basic steps used in soliciting and awarding a contract:

1 - The contracting office receives the requirement from our customers.

2 - The contracting office posts a synopsis of the requirement. These are typically posted on www.fbo.gov, however purchases from Federal Supply Schedules are posted on E-Buy/GSA Advantage

3 - The contracting office evaluates all properly received proposals and makes a selection in accordance with the terms stated in the solicitation. Contracting personnel will use Best Value Source Selection methods; low bid methods are not used.

4 - The contract is awarded and administered.

You may also view the procurement forecast on the Air Force small business website at www.AirForceSmallBiz.org (LRAE link)

Unless otherwise authorized by statute or regulation, all contracts are awarded on a competitive basis. Interested vendors should monitor FBO, GSA and other websites regularly for procurement opportunities.  Marketing directly to contracting buyers, contracting officers or the technical personnel will not improve your chances for contract award.
