The GSA Administrator has statutory authority to procure and supply personal property and nonpersonal services for use of the executive agencies in the proper discharge of their responsibilities, and perform functions related to procurement and supply. The statute states that the use of GSA Schedules is a competitive contracting procedure since participation in the program has been open to all responsible prospective contractors, and orders and contracts under such procedures result in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the needs of the Government. [See FAR 8.404(a) and FAR 6.102(d).)]. The requirement for a synopsis is waived based upon FAR 5.202(11). (Also see 8.404(a)). The information contained in this Limited Sources Justification is certified accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. DAVID EASTER Contracting Officer
