    If you have a sole source requirement that might be deemed a National Security, must you follow the guidance in FAR 6.302-5? 

    If you're awarding under FAR 13.106-1(b), then would that apply, given that FAR Part 6 doesn't apply to FAR 13? 

    It's for an award less than $250k.

    Might?  I guess one would have to consider all the details and apply one of the exceptions found in 6.302 that is most applicable.  So yes it might.

    I think you answered your own question.  If under the SAT and following FAR part 13 then I think the  single source route is appropriate  unless the agency has other policy on how to pursue a FAR part 13 single source procurement.
