GSA Form 49: Requisition/Procurement Request for Equipment, Supplies or Services
GSA Form 49, Requisition/Procurement Request for Equipment, Supplies or Services, is a General Services Administration form, Rev. 7/1991, with its instructions on the back. GSA hosts it in its forms library.
The instructions say GSA Form 49 is the basic procurement request form when requisitioning supplies not available from Customer Supply Centers, equipment, services (including architect-engineer and other related services) and construction, and that it is also used to requisition forms and publications from the GSA National Forms and Publication Center. They point to the GSA Handbook, Preparing Procurement Request and Receiving Reports, APD P 2800.14.
The form lists offices, accounting data and line items, then carries signatures from a fund certifying official, the requisitioner and an approving official. It is an internal agency form, not one the public files. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
