Interagency Agreements

A written agreement between Federal Agencies or Components of Federal Agencies to acquire supplies or services.

An IA serves multiple purposes in an interagency acquisition, among them are:

  • The IA establishes the general terms and conditions that govern the relationship between the requesting agency and the servicing agency.
  • The IA provides information that is required to demonstrate a bona fide need and authorize the transfer and obligation of funds.
  • The IA clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of the requiring, assisting, and contracting activities.
