    This memorandum outlines the process for justifying the use of other than full and open competition in acquisitions that do not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, as specified in FAR 13.106. It emphasizes that in certain circumstances, contracting officers can solicit bids from a single source for purchases requiring urgent delivery, exclusive licensing, brand-name specificity, or critical ship-related equipment. The document requires details such as the item or service description, source identification, and rationales for limiting competition. Factors for consideration include restrictive rights by the source, exclusive agreements with manufacturers or distributors, urgency of needs to avoid mission impact, and compatibility with existing equipment. The memorandum concludes with a section for noting the anticipated dollar value of the procurement. This structured approach ensures compliance with regulations while addressing the strategic procurement needs of the government.
