GSA Form 2957PD: Reimbursable Work Authorization (Real Property Utilization and Disposal)

GSA Form 2957PD, Reimbursable Work Authorization (Real Property Utilization and Disposal), is a General Services Administration form, GSA 2957PD (REV. 8/2022) on its footer. GSA hosts it in its forms library, and GSA's page lists PBS 1000.2B as its authority or regulation. The form names 40 U.S.C. § 501(b)(1)(A) as the default authority for the agreement, with a box to list another.

A Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA) is an agreement in which a requesting agency describes work for GSA to perform and certifies the funds to pay for it. Page 1 is completed by the requesting agency and ends with a customer fund certification. Page 2 is for General Services Administration use only, page 3 holds the General Terms and Conditions, and pages 4 and 5 are block-by-block instructions.

Can a non-federal customer use GSA Form 2957PD?

The instructions say non-federal customers select Prepaid in block 10A and pay the full authorized amount at www.pay.gov when submitting the RWA to GSA. Block 9A stays empty, and blocks 14A and 14B are left empty.

Can one RWA cover severable and non-severable work?

No. The instructions for block 24A say both boxes cannot be checked, as the RWA National Policy Document (NPD) does not allow both types of services on the same RWA.
