(a) Sole source awards made to a verified SDVOSB or VOSB.

Contracts awarded using the authority in this paragraph (a) shall be supported by the applicable justification and approval requirements of FAR 6.302–5(c)(2)(ii), 6.303, and 6.304.

A contracting officer may award a contract under the authority in this paragraph (b) to a VIP verified SDVOSB first, then VOSB if no SDVOSBs can fulfill the need, for an amount less than the simplified acquisition threshold, using procedures other than full and open competition. (38 U.S.C. 8127)

(c) Sole source awards above the simplified acquisition threshold. (Citation:  41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(5), as authorized by 38 U.S.C. 8127(c)). A contracting officer may award a contract to a VIP verified SDVOSB first, then VOSB if no SDVOSB can satisfy the need, using procedures other than full and open competition when—

(1) Such concern is determined to be a responsible source with respect to performance of such contract opportunity;

(2) The anticipated award price of the contract (including options) will exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, but will not exceed $5 million;  and
