    Justification and Approval for GS-00F-356GA 7200AA19M00004 Zemitek LLC.pdf
    The document addresses resource implications and authority for an exception to full and open competition within a federal government contract. Due to current expenditure trends and projected service costs, additional funds are required for a Task Order (TO) until its end date of March 28, 2024. The order ceiling will increase by an unspecified amount, resulting in a new total ceiling of 8. The authority for this exception is AIDAR Part 706.302-70, specifically AIDAR 706.302-70(b)(3)(i), which permits waiving full and open competition when it would impair or adversely affect foreign aid programs. This requires a formal written determination and supporting findings from the Assistant Administrator. The document includes attachments such as a Determination and Findings, and a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition.
