This situation exists when required products can only be obtained from one source, or when it is impracticable to obtain competition. "Single source" contracting is rarely justifiable. If similar items of different manufacture are unacceptable for any reason, it is generally practicable to obtain price competition by soliciting the preferred manufacturer, their distributors and dealers, and considering government sources as well. The requestor must provide a written, single source justification with the purchase request that states what critical or unique features of the requirement limits its availability to a single source. The justification should also explain why other sources are not acceptable. The contracting office makes the final determination on all single source purchase requests, and documentation is required in the contract file for actions taken and price evaluation.
