The ordering entity requisition number will be the purchase order number. A copy of the purchase order must be forwarded to the GSC Procurement Services Division to update purchase history files. The non-automated term contracts are identified in the General Contract Information yellow pages of the GSC Term Contract Book. Follow the procedures outlined in the contract for each type of term contract purchase. In order to enable the GSC to create long term contracts, many contracts allow the vendor to increase or decrease prices in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract.
All pricing is based on the date of the order.
After a price change is approved, the purchaser will have the computer system updated to reflect the changes for automated and non-automated contracts within five to seven days. These changes will be available on the GSC web page. Price changes are not usually published in hard copy in the term contract books. Orders placed after the price change will be subject to the new pricing. Information concerning price changes on an individual contract are found in the General Contract Information pages in the front of each contract.
