Sec. 101-26.105  Justification to support negotiated procurement by 

GSA for other agencies.



    When a requisition submitted by an agency to GSA requires 

procurement without providing for full and open competition, the agency 

submitting the requisition will be so notified and required to furnish 

specific information to assist GSA in preparing the required written 

justification. The GSA contracting officer will defer procurement action 

pending receipt of the requested information. If the requisitioning 

agency has prior knowledge that a requisition will require procurement 

without providing for full and open competition (e.g., sole source 

acquisition), sufficient information shall be included with the 

requisition to allow GSA to justify the procurement. Specifically, the 

information must include the following:

    (a) The specific needs to be satisfied in terms of identified tasks 

or work processes;

    (b) The requirements that generate the specific needs;

    (c) The characteristics of the designated item that enable it to 

satisfy the specific needs, if a specific source(s) is requested;

    (d) The identification of other items evaluated and, for each, a 

statement of the characteristics (or lack thereof) which preclude their 

satisfying the specific needs, if a specific source(s) is requested;

    (e) The citation of the applicable law, if any, authorizing other 

than full and open competition (see FAR 6.302 (48 CFR 6.302); and

    (f) Any required certifications, pursuant to FAR 6.303-2(b) (48 CFR 

6.303-2(b)), that supporting data is complete and accurate.
