Although the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 generally mandates that contracting agencies obtain full and open competition in their procurements through the use of competitive procedures, the proposed sole-source award of a contract under 10 U.S.C. sec. 2304(c)(1) (1994) is unobjectionable where the agency reasonably determined that only one source could complete the modification of an electronic warfare system to simulate advanced threats within the urgent time constraints of the procurement. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-279622/html/GAOREPORTS-B-279622.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-279622/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-279622.pdf GAO/B-279622 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-279622 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-279622; Metric Systems Corporation, B-279622, July 2, 1998; Title 10 Section 2304(a)(1)(A) Title 10 Section 2304(c)(1) Title 10 Section 2304(c)(5) Title 10 Section 2304(f)(1)(A) Title 10 Section 2304(f)(1)(C) 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1)(A) 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(5) 10 U.S.C. 2304(f)(1)(A) 10 U.S.C. 2304(f)(1)(C)
