If only two suppliers are listed for a CMAS or Master Agreement is it o.k. to solicit offers from both, award to one, and document the file?
Yes, as long as the file is well documented as to your attempts to solicit competition and the results of those attempts. Even if only one of the two known and solicited suppliers is willing to provide pricing, you may still award without an NCB as long as the file is completely documented as to what occurred.
