PGI 16.504 [F24]Indefinite-quantity contracts

(c)(1)(ii)(D)(1)(90) Single awards over $100 million.

(a) Preferably within the early stages of the acquisition process, but no less than 21 days before contract award, the contracting activity responsible for the acquisition shall submit a one page draft Determination and Findings (D&F) document to J-72, substantially the same as the templates provided: Single Award DF - Fixed Price Orders.doc and Single Award DF - Sole Source.doc). Note that a D&F can specify the solicitation number, so that any single award contract over $100 million that results will be covered.

(b) Included with the draft D&F shall be a memorandum to the Director, Acquisition Management, from the Supply Chain HCA or equivalent containing a clear, reasoned, and detailed discussion that justifies not using a multiple award strategy for the acquisition. Discussion points should include, at a minimum, the circumstances that require a task or delivery order contract, alternative acquisition strategies considered, impact on delivery or performance schedule, program costs, and mission impact if not allowed to make a single award, and any future plans to pursue a multiple award or other alternative strategy that will promote competition. The contracting officer’s determination under FAR 16.504(c)(1)(ii)(C) should be included as an enclosure; it can be provided as an extract if part of a larger document.

(c) It is anticipated that many determinations in DLA will utilize the FAR 16.504(c)(1)(ii)(D)(1)(ii) exception for contracts providing only firm fixed price task or delivery orders. Fixed price contracts utilizing an economic price adjustment or price redetermination clause qualify for this exception if the individual delivery or task orders under the contracts are firm-fixed priced using prices established in the contracts.
