As such, GSAR 516.506, Solicitation provision and clauses, specifically directs contracting officers to insert 552.216-72, Placement of Orders, when the contract authorizes FAS and other activities to issue delivery or task orders and 552.216- 73, Ordering Information, directs the Offeror to elect to receive orders placed by FAS by either facsimile transmission or computer-to- computer Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
