# §17.501. General.

- (a) Interagency acquisitions are commonly conducted through indefinite-delivery contracts, such as task- and delivery-order contracts. The indefinite-delivery contracts used most frequently to support interagency acquisitions are Federal Supply Schedules (FSS), Governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs), and multi-agency contracts (MACs).
- (b) An agency shall not use an interagency acquisition to circumvent conditions and limitations imposed on the use of funds.
- (c) An interagency acquisition is not exempt from the requirements of [subpart 7.3](/cfr/48/subpart7.3.md), Contractor Versus Government Performance.
- (d) An agency shall not use an interagency acquisition to make acquisitions conflicting with any other agency's authority or responsibility (for example, that of the Administrator of General Services under [title 40](/cfr/40.md), United States Code, “Public Buildings, Property and Works” and 41 U.S.C. division C of subtitle I, Procurement).
