individuals without warrants may solicit quotations. Although FAR
1.601(a) states that contracts may be entered into and signed on
behalf of the Government only by contracting officers, a non-warranted
Government employee may place a micro-purchase when a contracting
officer approves in advance the placement of an order. Approval
must be in writing on GSA Form 2010, Simplified Acquisition
Tabulation Source List/Abstract, or other documentation unless the
geographic distance makes it impracticable. In those cases, the
contracting officer may provide approval by telephone or e-mail.
The authorized individual must document the file accordingly.</p>
