The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable under FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 Section 815 and FAR subpart 13.5 as statutory authority. MSC conducted market research via SAM.gov to solicit offers from multiple offerors and stated no plans for competitive subcontracting in future contracts if no alternate sources emerge. The Competition Advocate approved the non-competitive procurement authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2).
