urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization)

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii): Where a single source is identified to provide a portion of a purchase because that portion of the purchase specifies a particular brand-name item, the documentation in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section only applies to the portion of the purchase requiring the brand-name item. The documentation should state it is covering only the portion of the acquisition which is brand-name.

FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii): For actions for commercial supplies or services greater than the SAT but not exceeding $6.5M, the correct citation is: Test Program for Commercial Items, Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 as codified at 10 USC Sec. 2304(g)(1)(B), and amended by Section 807 of the Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005.
