Thank you very much for this response! With the requirement being below 25k, I see no reason why justifying under FAR 13 would not be appropriate.

Should but unfortunately we do not.

Good point. Thank you.

That is correct.

Looking at having an expert speaker at one of our conferences. FAR part 6 addresses justification regarding the aforementioned service. Are we in agreement that expert speakers are not required to be competed in Federal sector?

Thank you for all the replies. I have one additional question, which is relevant to topic. Is there anything written (law, regulation) that would preclude the head of contracting agency to also be designated as the advocate for competition? Seems doing so may be deemed a conflict of interest?

Some great points, however, I would doubt a limiting source justification would apply, due to the perceived acquisition amount.

Not sure I agree with the above analogy. FAR 13 isn’t solely applicable to RFQs. RFPs may also be utilized when soliciting and awarding through a simplified approach.

What’s more ridiculous? Marie or the KOs pacifying Marie? 😂😂

Contract close out is not applicable. Mod the DO to include batteries. Keep it simple.

Bob- that was only due to my error.

Greatly appreciate the response. Multiple JOFOCS corresponding to multiple awards to circumvent approvals for both, the JOFOCS and Awards.

I apologize in regards to spelling.

JOFOC-Justification For Other Than Full and Open Competition My apologies.
