# §13.306. SF 44, Purchase Order—Invoice—Voucher.


The SF 44, Purchase Order—Invoice—Voucher, is a multipurpose pocket-size purchase order form designed primarily for on-the-spot, over-the-counter purchases of supplies and nonpersonal services while away from the purchasing office or at isolated activities. It also can be used as a receiving report, invoice, and public voucher.

- (a) This form may be used if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
  - (1) The amount of the purchase is at or below the micro-purchase threshold, except for purchases made under unusual and compelling urgency or in support of contingency operations. Agencies may establish higher dollar limitations for specific activities or items;
  - (2) The supplies or services are immediately available;
  - (3) One delivery and one payment will be made; and
  - (4) Its use is determined to be more economical and efficient than use of other simplified acquisition procedures.
- (b) General procedural instructions governing the form's use are printed on the form and on the inside front cover of each book of forms.
- (c) Since there is, for all practical purposes, simultaneous placement of the order and delivery of the items, clauses are not required for purchases using this form.
- (d) Agencies shall provide adequate safeguards regarding the control of forms and accounting for purchases.
