Special considerations

Buyers must use the Contract Award Notice Webform for all direct awards, excluding direct awards awarded through the Notice of Intent (NOI) process. The Contract Award Notice webform is used for any purchases from a standing arrangement, standing offer or other form of direct selection. Additionally, the Contract Award Notice Webform is used for opportunities that result in multiple contract awards.
