This part: (a) Prescribes USDA (AD) forms for use in acquisition, (b) Contains requirements and information generally applicable to AD forms and forms prescribed by FAR part 53, and (c) Illustrates AD forms. (a) The contracting officer shall submit a request for exceptions to forms prescribed in FAR part 53 through the head of the contracting activity (HCA) to the Senior Procurement Executive (SPE) for referral to the GSA. (b) Requests for exceptions to AD forms prescribed in part 453 shall be handled as individual or class deviations, as appropriate (see subpart 401.4). Contracting officers shall submit recommendations for new forms or to revise, eliminate, or consolidate forms prescribed by FAR part 53 and part 453 through the HCA to the SPE. This subpart prescribes USDA (AD) forms for use in acquisition. Consistent with the approach used in FAR subpart 53.2, this subpart is arranged by subject matter, in the same order as, and keyed to, the parts of the AGAR in which the form usage requirements are addressed.

[70 FR 50, Jan. 3, 2005] Form AD–700, Procurement Request, may be used as a contract requisition document by contracting activities in USDA. This subpart contains illustrations of USDA (AD) forms for use in acquisitions. Forms are not illustrated in the
