What constitutes a change in the scope when piggybacking onto a procurement?
When considering a decision to piggyback, agencies need to look at whether the proposed arrangement would be within scope or if the scope of the original procurement (as specified in the original request documentation) would change. If the scope would be changed, then piggybacking amounts to a new procurement through direct sourcing and would not generally be consistent with the CPGs. Examples of where it is likely that the scope would change are: adding services that were not specified in the original request documentation, or a significant change in the quantity or volume of property or services being supplied.
