The attention of all heads of Departments, Bureaus, and Offices is hereby called to the terms of Act Numbered Sixteen hundred and six, amending section five of Act Numbered One hundred and forty-six, requiring each head of Department, Bureau, or Office to submit to the Purchasing Agent annually, within thirty days after the passage of each regular annual appropriation bill, an estimate of articles or supplies which will probably be required for the transaction of its official business for the fiscal year for which appropriations are made, such estimates to be used as a basis upon which the Purchasing Agent may make necessary purchases.
The Purchasing Agent states that a number of heads of Bureaus and Offices have ignored the provisions of said Act Numbered Sixteen hundred and six. Compliance therewith being necessary for the proper and economical conduct of the business of the Bureau of Supply, secretaries of Departments are hereby requested to require compliance therewith by their subordinates.
When supplies are secured by the Bureau of Supply on such estimates they must be taken by the bureau giving notice that they will be required. (123068-A2)
