DoD to publish an annual list of product

on the current list, and the products
within each identified product category,
must be procured using competitive or
fair opportunity procedures in
accordance with DFARS 208.602–70.
The Principal Director, Defense
Pricing and Contracting (DPC), issued a
memorandum dated March 16, 2022,
that provided the current list of product
categories for which FPI’s share of the
DoD market is greater than five percent
based on fiscal year 2021 data from the
Federal Procurement Data System. The
product categories to be competed
effective April 15, 2022, are the
following:
• 7125 (Cabinets, Lockers, Bins, and
Shelving)
• 8105 (Bags and Sacks)
• 8405 (Outerwear, Men’s)
• 8415 (Clothing, Special Purpose)

(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.
