All agencies must complete Page 1 (General Information), and one of the remaining pages based on the procurement method selected. Please ensure all applicable sections are completed.

2.) Requisition

Create, but DO NOT post, a requisition for this purchase in the Advanced Purchase Inventory Control System (ADPICS).  This applies to requisitions submitted for both Commodities and Facilities Maintenance requests. Once the agency provides the requisition print out with its submission and it is reviewed for accuracy, a DGS Procurement Officer will give written acceptance to post the requisition. When posting the requisition, please make sure that the buyer’s code on the 2100 screen is "ZDGS".

1. If the request is to procure a one-time good (commodity), the Interface ​Type (INTF TYPE) must be a "RQ" to allow the system to generate a Purchase Order (2340).
2. If the request is to either procure goods (commodities) or services over a given period usually more than one year and more than one delivery, the Interface Type (INTF TYPE) must be a "NP" to allow the system to produce a Blanket Purchase Order (2342).
3. The requisition note pad must contain the following information:

·        Match Type

·        Buyer’s Name, Buyer’s Code, Buyer’s Phone Number, and Buyer’s Email Address

·        PRG Information and any goals
