☒ FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) – Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.

☐ FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) – In the interest of economy and efficiency, the new work is a logical follow-on to an original Federal Supply Schedule order or BPA provided that the original order or BPA was placed in accordance with FSS procedures in accordance with the applicable Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures.
