# 513.106-1 Soliciting competition.

(a) “Urgency”, as used in FAR 13.106-1(a)(1)(iii) and 13.106-1(b), includes situations which, if not corrected immediately, will result in unnecessary expenditure of funds, property damage, personal injury, or interruption of agency functions.

(b) To avoid unnecessarily restricting competition for urgent requirements, consider the following actions:

(1) Inviting prospective offerors to visit the site.

(2) Informing them orally of the exact requirements.

(3) Requesting them to prepare quotations.
