How to Buy
Patterson Pope helps military and federal customers understand available purchasing pathways, identify the right fit for their project, and move from operational need to acquisition with fewer surprises along the way.
A Clearer Path From Requirement to Ready
Every project starts with a requirement. The path to acquisition can depend on the customer, timeline, funding source, contract availability, and scope of work.
Patterson Pope works with defense customers, contracting teams, procurement specialists, and qualified partners to help identify purchasing options that support the project without losing sight of the operational outcome.
Ways to Buy
No two projects follow the same path. These are some of the purchasing and contracting options that may be available depending on your agency, scope, timeline, and requirements.
DLA Contracts
DLA contract pathways can support streamlined acquisition for eligible defense requirements while helping customers maintain alignment with the quoted solution.
MIPR, MILSTRIP & G-Invoicing
Interagency purchasing methods can help eligible military and federal customers move funding and requirements through approved government channels.
GSA
GSA purchasing can provide access to pre-negotiated contract pricing and established procurement processes for eligible products and services.
Government Purchase Cards
Government Purchase Cards may support smaller, approved purchases when project scope and purchasing authority fall within current agency guidelines.
Small Business & Socioeconomic Partners
We work with HUBZone, 8(a), EDWOSB, and other socioeconomic-certified partners to help support agency small business goals and contracting requirements.
Standard Purchase Orders & Other Vehicles
Some projects may be completed through standard purchase orders or other approved contract vehicles based on the customer, scope, and procurement strategy.
Start With the Requirement
You don’t need to have the purchasing path figured out before reaching out. Bring us the requirement, timeline, and operational challenge. We’ll help you identify the next step and connect the project with the right people.
