Approved Purchasing System Clause Samples
The Approved Purchasing System clause establishes requirements for a contractor to maintain a purchasing system that meets specific standards set by the contracting agency. In practice, this means the contractor's methods for selecting suppliers, making purchases, and managing procurement must be reviewed and approved by the government or relevant authority. This clause ensures that the contractor's purchasing practices are efficient, compliant, and transparent, thereby reducing the risk of improper expenditures and ensuring accountability in the use of contract funds.
