In this episode, Kevin and Paul talk about the updated rule in FAR 6.103-1. This rule explains when the government can buy from just one source. It’s used when no other company can meet the need. This is a big part of how government contracts work.
The new version of the rule is shorter and easier to understand. It removes extra words and gives contracting officers more freedom to decide. If you work with government contracts, this episode will help you learn when and why sole source awards are allowed. Let’s take a closer look at what’s changed and why it matters.
