(I) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization). The Government's requirement for these specific SATCOM Base Stations can only be filled by the manufacturer (General Dynamics C4 Systems). VI. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION: N/A.

Supplies olTered on the schedule are listcd at fixed prices. Services olTered on the schedule are priced either at hourly rates, or at a fixed price for performance of a specific task (e.g., installation, maintenance, and rcpair). GSA has already detennined the prices of supplies and fixed-price services, and rates for services ofTered at hourly rates, under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. Thereforc, ordering activities arc not required to makc a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, except for a price evaluation as required by 8.405-2(d).

Although GSA has already negotiated fair and reasonable pricing, ordering activities may seek additional discounts before placing an order (see 8.405-4). VIII.
