For orders exceeding the micro purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/ pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!™ on-line shopping service (https://www.fss.gsa.gov).

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.
For orders exceeding the micro purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.
