Interagency Agreements

I have a similar question to address that mirrors the question presented under advance payments by Ferdi. What would be the appropriate contract vehicle to use to establish an agreement between the U.S. Government and its U.S. Territory to perform activities that involve both parties to accomplish a public need? MOAs have been used in the past to transfer funds to the U.S. Territory; however, it has been determined that MOAs are not the appropriate vehicle. Recommendations made by a contracting official, suggest that a sole source contract be contemplated in order to allow advance payments to the U.S. Territory without having concerns relating to the Privacy Act. I am not familiar with this type of contract vehicle, so I'm very interested in knowing your thoughts.
