Text

(b) Exceptions. For an order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, that is a follow-on to an order previously issued for the same supply or service based on a justification for an exception to fair opportunity citing the authority FAR 16.507-6(b)(2) or (3)—

(1) The justification must include a copy of the previous justification to assist the

approval authority in determining whether the actions to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the exception to fair opportunity cited on the previous justification were completed; and

(2) The approval authority must determine whether the planned actions were

completed. If the actions were not completed, the justification for the follow-on action must be approved by the approval authority one-level above the approval authority for the previous justification (see DFARS 16.507-6(e)). If the previous justification was approved by the Senior Procurement Executive (SPE), the approval remains at the SPE level.
