FAR 8.4 outlines procedures for providing for competition in the placement of orders under FSS contracts
An ordering activity must justify its action and document the circumstances when restricting consideration for an order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding $100,000
Circumstances that may justify restricting competition include:
Only one source is capable of providing supplies or services that are unique or highly specialized
A logical follow-on to an original order that provided competition (fair opportunity)
Urgent need and fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays
