Document background
The Common Use Agreement (CUA) is a fundamental procurement instrument in the Philippine public sector, established under the framework of Republic Act 9184 (Government Procurement Reform Act) and its implementing rules and regulations. This agreement type is specifically designed for the procurement of common-use supplies and equipment that are regularly required across government agencies. It serves as a streamlined mechanism for government procurement, establishing pre-agreed terms, conditions, and prices for standard items, thereby reducing administrative burden and ensuring cost efficiency. The agreement is typically used when a supplier has been selected through the Procurement Service to provide common-use supplies to multiple government agencies, with ordering conducted through the PhilGEPS Virtual Store. The document incorporates mandatory procurement requirements, pricing structures, delivery terms, and quality standards that comply with Philippine procurement regulations.
