Does the Committee ever place a portion of the total government requirement for an item on the Procurement List?
Yes. Occasionally, the Committee will add only a portion of the Government’s requirement for a particular commodity or service to the Procurement List. This approach is normally followed when taking the entire Government requirement would have a severe adverse impact on the current contractor. This is also the case when the Government’s requirements exceed the capability of the nonprofit agency or agencies proposing to provide the item. Under such circumstances, a portion of the requirement is obtained through the JWOD Process, while the remaining portion is competitively procured from commercial sources. The Committee has outlined specific guidelines for processing additions of this type, and considers the contracting activity’s views prior to adopting such an approach.
