The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Section 303(c) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Competition in Contracting Act [41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1)], implemented under FAR 6.302-1(a) which authorizes other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The present contract is with the West Valley Nuclear Services Company and is due to expire on December 31, 2006. Site services need to continue without disruption in order to assure the protection of the workers, the public, and the environment.
