• “Traditional” contracting using FAR, DFARS, and AFARS authority • Tips:

• Consider accepting the Government Purchase Card (GPC) as a form of payment to get paid faster for supplies and services provided.

• Use the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) for assistance

• Don’t pay 3rd parties for services you can do yourself or SBA, PTACs, and SBDCs can help you do

• Other Transactional Authority

• May be used for “non-traditional” contractors (i.e. contractors who have not done a contract subject to Cost Accounting Standards within the past year)

• Used to acquire innovative technology • DIUx uses this authority to acquire technological innovation

• Grants, Cooperative Agreements
