Overview
This section prescribes the use of Optional Form 347 (OF 347) for placing delivery orders and task orders against existing indefinite delivery contracts and basic ordering agreements.
Key Rules
- Form Designation: Optional Form 347 (OF 347), titled "Order for Supplies or Services," is the standard form identified for these actions.
- Applicability: The form is used for orders placed under indefinite delivery contracts and basic ordering agreements (BOAs) per FAR 16.703(d)(2)(i).
- Agency Flexibility: While OF 347 is prescribed, agencies are permitted to use their own approved agency-specific forms for these purposes.
- Cross-Reference: This section aligns with the simplified acquisition procedures prescribed in FAR 53.213(f).
Practical Implications
- Contracting officers use this standardized form to efficiently execute individual transactions under broader, pre-established contract vehicles without renegotiating master terms.
- It provides a consistent administrative format for tracking obligations and deliverables at the order level.
