GSA FX Mod 47 Recovery Purchasing

GSA (Federal Acquisition Service) has recently issued FX Mod 47 for Recovery Purchasing which permits GSA purchasing use by state or local governments of Federal Supply Schedules for goods or services that are to be used to facilitate recovery from a major disaster declared by the President under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, or to facilitate recovery from terrorism or nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack.

I see no down sides to accepting this OPTIONAL modification with only the state or local governments NOT having backup phone and computer systems in play, which were not in place in New Orleans due the levy break.
