# Subpart 513.1 - Procedures

## 513.101 General.

See subpart 504.70 for guidance on identifying and mitigating supply chain risks.

## 513.106 [Reserved]

### 513.106-1 Soliciting competition.

1. (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.

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

   1. (1) Inviting prospective offerors to visit the site.

   2. (2) Informing them orally of the exact requirements.

   3. (3) Requesting them to prepare quotations.

### 513.106-3 Award and documentation.

File documentation and retention. Contracting officers may use GSA Form 2010, Small Purchase Tabulation Source List/Abstract, to document written and oral quotations. If a lower-priced offer was not evaluated, the contracting officer should document the basis for its rejection, e.g., offeror is debarred or suspended, offer is not responsive to the requirement, offer is a large business (and the acquisition is set aside).
