Sec. 51-6.13  Replacement and similar commodities.

    (a) When a commodity on the Procurement List is replaced by another 
commodity which has not been recently procured, and a nonprofit agency 
can furnish the replacement commodity in accordance with the 
Government's quality standards and delivery schedules, the replacement 
commodity is automatically considered to be on the Procurement List and 
shall be procured from the nonprofit agency designated by the Committee 
at the fair market price the Committee has set for the replacement 
commodity. The commodity being replaced shall continue to be included on 
the Procurement List until there is no longer a Government requirement 
for that commodity.
    (b) If contracting activities desire to procure additional sizes, 
colors, or other variations of a commodity after the commodity is added 
to the Procurement List, and these similar commodities have not recently 
been procured, these commodities are also

automatically considered to be on the Procurement List.
    (c) In accordance with Sec. 51-5.3 of this chapter, contracting 
activities are not permitted to purchase commercial items that are 
essentially the same as commodities on the Procurement List.
