A contract that sets the prices and terms for services over a period of time is called a Master
Service Agreement (MSA). In order to simplify the instructions, in most cases, this manual
refers to all master agreements for goods or services as MPAs.
It is IRC policy to use a Master Purchase Agreement when the Country Office has ongoing
needs for the same goods or services on a regular basis. This structure can improve value for
money, reduce lead times, and decrease the opportunity for illegal or unethical practices by
reducing the number of tenders. When procuring under an MPA, all purchasing can be done
directly with the Supplier regardless of the value of the order.
