For a non-competitive follow-on to a previous award for the same supply or service supported by a justification for other than full and open competition citing the authority at DFARS 206.103-170 or FAR 6.103-1—
(a) The justification must 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; and
(b) The approval authority must determine whether the planned actions were completed. If the actions were not completed, the justification for the follow-on acquisition must be approved by the approval authority one level above the approval authority for the previous justification (see FAR 6.104-2). If the senior procurement executive (SPE) approved the previous justification, the approval remains at the SPE level.
