Gents,
I want to make sure I understand your opinions...
As a prime contractor who subcontracts a large amount of the work, it is my understanding that there isn't a FAR clause that references a dollar threshold requiring a written noncompetitive justification when full and open competition is not achievable due to specific engineering or technical expertise requirements, right?
Our company policy does require a noncompetitive justification at the $25,000 threshold.
One other related question:
Would you agree that noncompetitive justifications are not required for subcontract awards under an IDIQ Prime Contract where the Prime was competed but the Task Order itself was not? In other words, if we are awarding a subcontract under a Task Order where that specific work wasn’t competed, does the requestor need to complete a noncompetitive justification? It would depend on the what's in the Prime or specific Task Order flowdowns, right? I don't believe FAR covers this, but if there is a FAR clause, please reference.
