SUBPART 5606.3 - OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

5606.303 Justifications.


5606.303-90 Policy.
(Revised April 2008)
(a) When multiple sources are included in a class Justification and Approval (J&A) request, each source specified must be fully justified in accordance with FAR 6.303-2(a)(5).
(b) Only one of the statutory authorities provided by 10 U.S.C. 2304 will be cited in Paragraph 4 of the J&A. If another statutory authority applies that will strengthen the justification for other than full and open competition, it may be cited in Paragraph 8 of the J&A.
(c) A full scale J&A is not required for solicitations issued in accordance with FAR Part 13, however the justification must be documented in the contract file.
The J&A template can be found in the DCG.


5606.303-90.1 Amended J&A (Changes/Increases/Decreases).
(Revised June 2008)
(a) The Contracting Officer shall amend the J&A and obtain approval at the required level (Attachment 5601-1) prior to awarding the contract or issuing a modification if any of the following circumstances occur:

(1) Prior to award of the basic contract;
(i) The negotiated in-scope price increases by twenty-percent (20%) or more, or any increase in which the additional work/quantities were not originally contemplated in the J&A,
(ii) The negotiated price increase causes the approval level authority to rise to a higher level,
(iii) There is a change in the competitive strategy that would further reduce competition,
(iv) There is a change in the requirement that affects the basis for the justification.
(1) Actions occurring after award of the basic contract;
(i) There is an out of scope change to the work package,
(ii) There is a cost increase of twenty-percent (20%) or more, or any increase in which the additional work/quantities were not originally contemplated at award,
(iii) A cost increase causes the approval level authority to rise to a higher level.

(a) A document entitled, "Amendment to Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition," may be prepared in lieu of a new J&A using the same paragraph designations as the basic J&A. Paragraphs of the basic J&A not affected by the amendment should be annotated, "No Change." Multiple amendments should be numbered sequentially. The Contracting Officer shall submit a copy of the basic J&A along with the amended J&A to the appropriate approval level as listed in Attachment 5601-1.
(b) If the statutory authority for other than full and open competition is no longer applicable, or a different statutory authority now applies, a new J&A shall be completed.
