SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    When it is in the best interest of the Government and when supplies 
and services are required by a Government contract, contracting 
officers may authorize contractors to use Government supply sources in 
performing certain contracts. Contractors placing orders under Federal 
Supply Schedules or Personal Property Rehabilitation Price Schedules 
must follow the terms of the applicable schedule. To place orders, 
firms will submit the initial FEDSTRIP or MILSTRIP requisitions or the 
Optional Form 347, a copy of the authorization to order, and a 
statement regarding authorization to the firm holding the schedule 
contract.
    The information informs the schedule contractor that the ordering 
contractor is authorized to use this Government supply source and fills 
the ordering contractor's order under the terms of the Government 
contract.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
300; responses per respondent, 7; total annual responses, 2,100; 
preparation hours per response, .25; and total response burden hours, 
525.

    Dated: October 13, 1995.

FAR Secretariat.
