Justifications citing the authority at DFARS 206.103-170 or FAR 6.103-1 to permit the use of other than full and open competition, must—
(a) Include the results of the request for information or sources sought notice posted in
accordance with PGI 206.103-170 (unless the requirement to post has been waived); and
(b) For non-competitive follow-on acquisitions of supplies or services previously
awarded on a non-competitive basis, include a copy of the previous justification to assist the approval authority in determining whether the planned actions to remove any barriers to competition cited on the previous justification were completed.
