Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonable available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

Steps taken will include; assessing the feasibility of utilizing alternative systems for future procurement of the product and surveying the market each time the government has a requirement similar to this. Future requirements will be posted on SAM to ensure fair access for all potential vendors capable of furnishing the product, affording each an equal chance to submit a quotation.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
