§ 239.7407-2 - Communication service authorizations (CSAs).

Basic agreements (see FAR 16.702) are used widely in conjunction with communication service authorizations to facilitate award of telecommunications services.

(3) Specify the premises involved;

(4) Cite the address for billing;

(5) Identify the disbursing office; and

(6) Provide funding information.

(b) Before awarding a CSA, comply with the requirements in FAR and DFARS, e.g., for competition, reviews, approvals, and determinations and findings.

(c) Include an expiration date in each CSA.

(d) Modify CSAs to reflect any price increases.
