    (a) Department of Labor acquisitions must comply with the Department 

of Labor Manual Series (DLMS) 2, Chapter 830 (available by mail from the 

Director, Division of Acquisition Management Services, 200 Constitution 

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20210-0001), or electronically from http://

www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/boc/prb.htm. Any proposed noncompetitive 

acquisition in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold must be 

fully justified and, if required by the DLMS, submitted to the DOL 

Procurement Review Board and approved by the Assistant Secretary for 

Administration and Management and, in the case of research and 

development contracts, also by the Assistant Secretary for Policy.

    (b) With the exception of contracts for advisory and assistance 

services or for research and development, the contracting officer has 

the authority below the simplified acquisition threshold to approve sole 

source contracts. The contracting officer is responsible for assuring 

that proposed acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold 

are in compliance with FAR and DOLAR requirements regarding competition.
