FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
106.101-70 Agency policy on limited full and
open competition
Release Number: 2007-18
Date Releases: 05/15/2007
(a) The Procurement Executive has
determined that openly publicizing all contractual
activities, including both classified and
unclassified contracts, could potentially
compromise or lead to the compromise of
intelligence sources and methods, operational
activities and/or interests of the Agency, or
capabilities of Agency systems. Therefore, under
the authority of Section 8 of the CIA Act of 1949
and other applicable laws and regulations, the CIA
limits the number of sources from which it solicits
bids or proposals to as many potential sources as
is practicable under the circumstances.
(U) (b) The contracting officer shall conduct
market research to identify qualified sources and
solicit offers from as many responsible sources as
practicable under the circumstances of the specific
acquisition. In addition to considering existing
sources, the contracting officer will review the
applicable capabilities and technological
achievements of uncleared sources, and, when
appropriate, consider the benefits of clearing
additional,sources.
(U) (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, a
Justification for Other Than Full and Open
Competition citing the appropriate authority from
FAR 6.302 must be completed for individual sole
source acquisitions, as appropriate.
