Template for a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Limited-Sources Justification

Completion Instructions: HHS has established a standard template for the preparation of a Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) pursuant to FAR Subpart 8.4. This template is for use with orders issued under the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program where the value exceeds simplified acquisition threshold and competition is restricted: (1) to fewer schedule contractors than required in FAR 8.405-1. 8.405-2. or 8.405-3. or (2) to an item peculiar to one manufacturer. See FAR

Subpart 8.4 for additional guidance. This template is not for use with acquisitions other than those under FAR Subpart 8.4.

Tailor all aspects of this template to the individual acquisition. Consult FAR 8.405-6 for guidance. An addendum may be added in case additional space is needed.
