Micro-Purchase Delegation of Authority

Executive Agencies and the Judiciary may directly procure projects and services without a Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA) in facilities under GSA control if:

1. The cost of the work is at or below the Micro-Purchase threshold.
2. The Agency has received the written approval of the GSA Building/Property Manager or, if a leased building, the written approval of the GSA Lease Administration Manager (LAM) and Lease Contracting Officer.
3. Authority has transferred from the head of the customer agency to the requesting agency official.
