For RFO Subpart 16.5 procurements, refer to the exceptions to fair opportunity at RFO 16.507- 6(b) and check one of the following:

_________ The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays.

___X_____ Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

_________ The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. If the contracting officer uses the logical follow-on exception, the rationale must describe why the relationship between the initial order and the follow-on is logical (e.g., in terms of scope, period of performance, or value).

_________ It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

_________ Item peculiar to one manufacturer. If this justification applies to a portion of the procurement, please identify that portion.

(*Rename this document a “Justification for Brand Name Exception to Fair Opportunity” if RFO 16.507-7 applies.)
