GSA Form 1533: Utilities Contract

GSA Form 1533, Utilities Contract, is a two-page General Services Administration (GSA) form, printed as GSA FORM 1533 (3-63). GSA hosts it in its forms library, and GSA's page lists no authority or regulation for it. The form says the contract is executed pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 377, as amended.

Under it, the Contractor agrees to sell and deliver utility services to the United States of America at the premises named at the top, and the Government agrees to purchase them and pay at the rates in the attached rate schedules. The front page has six numbered paragraphs: description of services, rates, contract period, changes of rate schedules and rates, special terms and conditions, and general. The reverse is an Addendum of seven clauses.

The contract is executed by the Contractor and by the United States of America acting through the Administration of General Services, with a Contracting Officer's signature. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
