MP5316.504(c)(1)(ii)(D) Approval of Determination and Finding (D&F) for Single-Award Task or Delivery Order Contracts that Exceed $103M (including all options)
1. The contracting officer must submit all D&Fs to SAF/AQC at safaqc.workflow@pentagon.af.mil. In the circumstance where a Justification and Approval (J&A) is required, the J&A package must be submitted with the D&F.
2. Minimum D&F Contents:
(a) Clear identification of one of the exceptions listed at FAR 16.504(c)(1)(ii)(D)(1).
(b) Circumstances that justify the use of a task or delivery order contract. This should include alternate contract types considered.
(c) Detailed discussion that precludes the award of a multiple-award, task or delivery order contract. At a minimum, this should include alternative acquisition strategies considered, the impact on the program delivery or performance schedule, program costs, and mission impact if not allowed to make single award.
(d) D&Fs using the exception that only one source is qualified and capable of performing the work at a reasonable price to the Government should cite and attach the J&A as part of the staffing package.
