This text comes from the Word attachment to class deviation 2026-O0017, not from acquisition.gov. The deviation memo directs contracting officers to use it in place of the codified PGI. The source attachment linked below is authoritative.

Text

When utilizing the authority at DFARS 206.103-170 or FAR 6.103-1, the contracting officer

must post a request for information or a sources sought notice and must include the results

of this inquiry in the justification required by FAR 6.104. This requirement to post may be

waived by the head of the contracting activity. The waiver authority may not be delegated

lower than a general or flag officer or a member of the Senior Executive Service.
