, Give this one a try later!
Prior to purchase, it is important to:
Ensure adequate and appropriate funds are available to cover the cost of
the supply or service being procured. CHs must also ensure adequate
funds are available to cover both the cost of the supply/service plus the
bank's check fees.
Determine if any special requirements or approvals are required. (Normal
procedures for obtaining special requirements or approvals are provided in
Component-level GPC guidance. Several are addressed in the following
section. Contact your A/OPC or A/BO with any questions.)
Check for availability from required sources. CHs must purchase supplies
and services in accordance with the laws, regulations, and policies for the
specific type of purchase.

CHs shall document if one or more of the following issues prevents
purchase of mandatory green products/services:
Price of the product/service is unreasonable.
Product/service will not meet reasonable performance standards.
Availability does not meet requirement timeframe.
You are using your GPC to purchase a piece of office equipment for which you have a
written requirement from a requestor. Since this is a Government purchase, the
supplier offers a discount. The sales person offers to give you a gift card in the
amount of the discount rather than adjusting the price. Can you accept the card?
