We offer programs that enable state and local government, as defined in 40 U.S.C. 502 (c)(3), to buy commercial products, services, and solutions from us through our Multiple Award Schedule contracts program during normal operations and when dealing with extreme events. We also have two donation programs that state and local government can use to get computers and personal property, such as office furniture, medical supplies, and construction equipment. Consider some of the reasons to use our state and local programs.

lodging is obtained.
Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely
surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within
those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely
surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties,
including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties
(unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is

even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
