Scenario 1: You have a requirement for an item of supply that is available from Federal Prison Industries (FPI), available on Federal Supply Schedules, and can also be purchased on the open market from commercial sources. Which source has priority?

Scenario 2: Same as Scenario 1, but the FPI item's quality and delivery availability do not meet your agency's needs. What do you do?

Scenario 3: You have a requirement for a service that is on the Procurement List maintained by the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled and is also available on a Federal Supply Schedule. Which source has priority?

Scenario 4: Same as Scenario 3, but you think the price on the Procurement List is too high. What do you do?

Scenario 5:Your customer is remodeling their conference rooms and would like to purchase new tables and chairs once the remodel is complete. There are at least two tables and 30 chairs in the DRMO warehouse that are in great condition and are available. However, the customer states that his boss doesn't like those items, and wants to purchase from a local furniture store instead, since it's owned by a local veteran. What do you do?
