Fair Opportunity Clause
Market Research:
According to Federal Acquisition Regulations, (FAR) Part 10, appropriate market research based on the size and complexity of the acquisition is required.
Fair Opportunity:
FAR 16.505(b) (1) provides that each contractor shall be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding $10,000 and issued under multiple award contracts. The FAR states that the method to obtain fair opportunity is at the discretion of the CO and that the CO must document the rationale for placement and price of each order. The SEWP online QRT tool is the recommended method to assist in this activity and to augment the required decision documentation. The SEWP QRT tool will automatically include the Contract Holders within a selected Group or based on a suggested source.
NOTE:

Best Value:
Once market research is completed, the end-user’s needs, technical requirements, Contract Holder program performance, price, agency policy and other factors related to the exercise of sound business judgment should be considered in making a best value determination.
