As we finish another month in 2020, it is important to remember that the current fiscal year began Oct. 1, 2019. Near the halfway point, it is crucial for organizations to plan for their upcoming requirements and coordinate those requirements through the 6th Contracting Squadron as early as possible. 

The 6th CONS mission is to purchase contracting requirements for the 6th Air Refueling Wing, 927th ARW and our mission partners as needed to accomplish their missions.

Contracting works for you and we will do our best to acquire the items that you request. However, by law, there are certain regulations that contracting officers must abide by when making purchases. Therefore, sole-source and brand name justifications should only be used on a very limited basis. Please keep that in mind when prioritizing your requirements for Fiscal Year 2020.

Government purchase card holders can make purchases up to $10,000 for commodities, $2,500 for services and $2,000 for construction projects. Certain circumstances will allow for up to a $25,000 purchase. Please discuss this potential option with the GPC program coordinator.

To allow 6th CONS to process your contracting requirement in a timely manner, please start planning your requirements now and avoid the rush during July through September.

For FY20 requirements, coordination with 6th CONS is absolutely critical before the following dates:

March 27: All construction projects regardless of cost services over $2,000,000

May 15: Services between $250,000 and $2,000,000 commodities and supplies (Including GSA) over $2,000,000
