Requirements

Agencies must use competitive procedures for contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold unless a specific exception applies (sole source, urgency, one responsible source). Justification and Approval (J&A) documents are required for non-competitive actions.

Why It Matters for Contractors

CICA is the foundation of federal competition law. Understanding its exceptions helps identify sole-source opportunities, while its protest provisions give contractors recourse when competition rules are violated. The GAO sustains approximately 15% of protests.
