  1. I have a question related to follow-on contracts in accordance with FAR part 6. FAR 6.02-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The NON DOD agency I work for often uses the authority under 6.301-2 (a) (iii)-follow on contracts citing (A) the duplication of costs as a reason to sole source a follow-on contract. However, what confuses me is if you read the exact verbiage, it states ?for DOD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services?.etc. If I take this clause literally, to me it says this can only be cited as an authority for DOD, NASA, and the Coast Guard and no other agencies. Yet our non DOD agency uses this authority. To me it doesn?t make sense it would only apply to those agencies because the non DOD agency I work for truly does have circumstances that fit that authority, but the verbiage of the FAR tells me it does. Any interpretation and guidance you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
