The statute, as implemented, also
requires DoD to—
(1) Include FPI in the solicitation
process for these items. A timely offer
from FPI must be considered and award
procedures must be followed in
accordance with existing policy at
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
8.602(a)(4)(ii) through (v);
(2) Continue to conduct acquisitions,
in accordance with FAR subpart 8.6, for
items from product categories for which
FPI does not have a significant market
share. FAR 8.602 requires agencies to
conduct market research and make a
written comparability determination, at
the discretion of the contracting officer.
Competitive (or fair opportunity)
procedures are appropriate if the FPI
product is not comparable in terms of
price, quality, or time of delivery; and
(3) Modify the published list if DoD
subsequently determines that new data
requires adding or omitting a product
category from the list.
