Sec. 1274.202  Methods of award.



    (a) Competitive agreements. Consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6301(3), NASA 

uses competitive procedures to award cooperative agreements whenever 

possible.

    (b) Awards using other than competitive procedures. Solicitations 

for award of a Cooperative Agreement shall not be issued to, nor 

negotiations conducted with a single source unless--

    (1) Use of such actions is documented in writing; and

    (2) Concurrence and approvals are obtained. The dollar thresholds 

will be determined by the total value of the resources committed to the 

Cooperative Agreement (cash and quantifiable in-kind contributions).
