Sole source contracts a. Sole-source contracts in excess of the micro-purchase threshold should be rare. Potential justifications include 200.320(f)(1), only one source has the goods or is able to perform the service, 200.320(f)(2), an emergency, 200.320(f)(3) EPA approval, or 200.320(f)(4) after soliciting a number of sources the recipient reasonably decided competition was inadequate. b. EPA’s general policy is to require competition in accordance with the Procurement Standards in the UGG for commercially available items (including consulting services). EPA recommends that recipients consult with EPA prior to making sole source procurements. Situations in which EPA may approve sole source contracts are generally limited to those in which a patent, copyright, or equipment maintenance agreement with the manufacturer are in place; the service or product demonstrates that an item is available from only one firm; or there is an emergency (e.g. a natural disaster) that precludes competitive contracting. Recipients who procure sole source contracts without EPA approval do so at their own risk. c. EPA staff may not suggest, recommend or direct recipients to hire particular firms or individuals. d. EPA does not require recipients to identify contractors in proposals. The fact that a recipient has named a contractor in its proposal as a “partner” or otherwise does not in and of itself justify a sole-source award. If, at any time, EPA finds that a sole-source contract does not comply with EPA’s interpretation of the UGG, EPA may disallow all or part of the cost of the contract as provided at 2 CFR 200.338. 1. Fixed-price contracts. Fixed-price contracts are used when there will likely be effective competition based on a complete product description and clear plans and specifications. As provided at 2 CFR 200.320(c), recipients must use fixed price contracts in sealed bid situations. Recipients may use fixed priced contracts in other situations as well. a. There should not be any significant technical or engineering unknowns. b. The contractor furnishes the goods or services for the fixed -price, and so assumes significant risk. Profit is not typically stated or negotiated separately. 2. Cost -reimbursable contracts. You should use a cost -reimbursement contract when it is not feasible to award a fixed price contract. a. The contractor's cost and profit are typically negotiated separately. The contractor satisfactorily completes only the amount of work equivalent to the estimated cost to...
