    Q.4. Please provide the original sole source justification for
    each of the sole source awarded contracts since FY2012 from the
    contract file.

    A.4. Included with this response are copies of sole source
    justifications for sole source contracts (excludes
    modifications) awarded from October 1, 2011, through December
    15, 2013. For sole source contracts authorized under specific
    statute or regulation, such as contracts with the Small
    Business Administration under the 8(a) program or contracts
    awarded to a required source (e.g., Federal Prison Industries
    or AbilityOne nonprofit), sole source justifications are not
    required for these types of awards.
