17.502-1 General.17.502-1 General.       (a)  *Written agreement on responsibility for management and administration—.*                                                         (1)                         *Assisted acquisitions*.                                                                           (i) Prior to the                               issuance of a solicitation, the servicing agency and the requesting                               agency shall both sign a written interagency agreement that                               establishes the general terms and conditions governing the                               relationship between the parties, including roles and responsibilities                               for acquisition planning, contract execution, and administration and                               management of the contract(s) or order(s). The requesting agency shall                               provide to the servicing agency any unique terms, conditions, and                               applicable agency-specific statutes, regulations, directives, and                               other applicable requirements for incorporation into the order or                               contract. In the event there are no agency unique requirements beyond                               the FAR, the requesting agency shall so inform the servicing agency                               contracting officer in writing. For acquisitions on behalf of the                               Department of Defense, also see  subpart  17.7. For patent rights, see  27.304-2.                               In preparing interagency agreements to support assisted acquisitions,                               agencies should review the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP)                               guidance, Interagency Acquisitions, available at                                    https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/legacy_drupal_files/omb/assets/OMB/procurement/interagency_acq/iac_revised.pdf                                                                 .                                                                              (ii) Each agency’s file shall include the interagency agreement between the requesting and servicing agency, and shall include sufficient documentation to ensure an adequate audit consistent with  4.801(b).                                                                                                           (2)                         *Direct acquisitions*. The requesting agency administers the order; therefore, no written agreement with the servicing agency is required.                                                                             (b)                   *Business-case analysis requirements for                      multi-agency contracts and governmentwide acquisition contracts*. In order                   to establish a multi-agency or governmentwide acquisition contract, a                   business-case analysis must be prepared by the servicing agency and approved in                   accordance with the OFPP business case guidance, available at                        https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/legacy_drupal_files/omb/procurement/memo/development-review-and-approval-of-business-cases-for-certain-interagency-and-agency-specific-acquisitions-memo.pdf                                         .                   The business-case analysis shall—                                                         (1) Consider strategies for the effective participation of small businesses during acquisition planning (see  7.103(u));                                                            (2) Detail the administration of such contract, including an analysis of all direct and indirect costs to the Government of awarding and administering such contract;                                                            (3) Describe the impact such contract will have on the ability of the Government to leverage its purchasing power, *e.g.*, will it have a negative effect because it dilutes other existing contracts;                                                            (4) Include an analysis concluding that there is a need for establishing the multi-agency contract; and                                                            (5) Document roles and responsibilities in the administration of the contract.    **Parent topic:**  17.502 Procedures.
