Subpart 2913.1  

Procedures

48 CFR 2913.106-3 - Soliciting competition, evaluation of quotations or offers, award and documentation.

  • Section Number: 2913.106-3
  • Section Name: Soliciting competition, evaluation of quotations or offers, award and documentation.
    In accordance with FAR 13.106-3(b), simplified acquisition files 
must contain documentation of the factors considered in making an award 
in excess of the micro-purchase threshold. When other than the lowest 
responsive quotation from a responsible supplier is used as the basis 
for a purchase, the contracting officer must identify the basis (i.e., 
best value) of the award and include in the purchase file documentation 
of the reasons for rejecting any lower quotation and the name of the 
individual responsible for making the determination to award to other 
than the lowest priced quotation. The contracting officer has broad 
discretion in determining the award of a purchase order, which may be 
based on the factors listed in FAR 13.106-3. This requirement does not 
necessitate a separate determination if the procurement file contains 
preprinted standardized classifications for award.
