As stated in the ATA Defense Industries case of June 27, 1997 GSA’s procedures satisfy the requirement of CICA since the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract prices have been competitively awarded based on price negotiations and evaluations prior to award of the FSS contract. However, GSA has not negotiated or evaluated prices for products and services that are not listed in the FSS contract. Therefore, customers must purchase “incidental” open market items using appropriate competitive procedures. After a customer complies with requirement of full and open competition for the incidental item it may be placed on the delivery order for administrative convenience.
