I've heard that changes to the FAR in March of 2013 limited the award of second sole source contract to the same company. Can someone point me to the FAR / and the respective guidance?
Thanks,
PC

There were no FAR changes issued in March 2013. FAC 2005-65 was issued January 29, with rules effective January 29 and February 28. FAC 2005-66 was issued February 28, with rules effective February 28 and April 1. FAC 2005-67 wasn't issued until June 21. Based on my cursory review of the topics covered in these 3 FACs, none appeared to include the change you described.

#Navy_Contracting_4 - thanks for the information and I appreciate the information on the three circulars. I did not see anything applicable in the FAC either and do not know of anything FAR or DFAR that would prohibit a follow-on sole source award.
