I'll be the first to admit to being a newbie. I have no pride so that's ok. If there is a different location to ask these questions I'd be happy to. If you told me to send up smoke signals to get some answers I'd probably do that to. Believe me, I very much appreciate the help i've gotten so far from these discussions. Attempt to Clarify: I have an FFP contract that states in the statement of work that the vendor shall accomplish all approved aircraft modifications as directed by the ACO and PCO. No specific modifications are mentioned. The FMS customer wants the aircraft modified by a different vendor. I'm told that since we have this vendor on contract for this capability we cannot contract to anyone else for this same capability. Every local contracting officer I speak with says there is a FAR or clause that states you can't have two vendors on contract for the same effort unless it is a multiple award IDIQ. I just want to be able to point to that FAR or clause when I explain this to our FMS customer.

Can someone point me to the FAR or clause that states you can't have multiple contracts for the same effort? Thanks.

I work on an FMS program that has a FAR Part 12 contract with a vendor for aircraft maintenance of a specific fleet of aircraft. This was a sole source award per FAR 6.302-4 International Agreement. The customer would like to add another fleet of aircraft to the existing contract. They propose to amend the LOA to designate the vendor as the sole source of repair for the additional fleet of aircraft. As this is a sole source award, is there anything to prevent this effort being added to the current contract? Could this be done as a matter of administrative convenience and justified via FAR 6.302-4?
