### 38.9001 General.

(b) In accordance with the 1971 Agreement, both GSA and DoD agreed that “GSA and DSA (Defense Supply Agency, now DLA) will develop and maintain Federal Supply Schedule type contracts for Groups, Commodities, or items assigned under terms of this Agreement.”

(c) In establishing and maintaining a uniform federal supply catalog system, GSA and DoD shall coordinate to avoid unnecessary duplication (40 U.S.C. 506).

(3) Determine the prices of fixed-price supplies to be fair and reasonable for the purpose of establishing the Federal Supply Schedule.

(4) Determine in writing contract termination is appropriate prior to removing a contract from FedMall.
