In accordance with FAR 6.303 and 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), services have been deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system and competition would result in both substantial duplication cost to the Government and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency?s requirement.
