Here are some problems pertaining to Trade Agreements (FAR 25.4) I'm posting for those of you who like puzzles. Have fun. Assume that you work for DoD when answering (i.e., DFARS applies). First one to get them all right wins something (we can negotiate what that is). Vern, you must wait 24 hours before answering.
Scenario 1 You have a requirement for research and development of weapons. The estimated value of the acquisition is $208,110. The acquisition will be conducted using full and open competition. Will trade agreements apply to the acquisition?
Scenario 2 You have a requirement to buy furniture. The estimated value of the acquisition is $362,144. The acquisition will be conducted using full and open competition. Will trade agreements apply to the acquisition?
Scenario 3 Same as scenario 2, except the requirement is for the purchase of base quantity of furniture with an option to purchase more. The estimated value for the base quantity is $181,072 and the estimated value of the optional quantity is $181,072. Will trade agreements apply to the acquisition?
Scenario 4 Same as scenario 2, except the acquisition will be set aside for competition by service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Will trade agreements apply to the acquisition?
Scenario 5 You have a requirement for a landing craft (a type of ship). The estimated value of the acquisition is $54,177,000. The acquisition will be conducted using full and open competition. Will trade agreements apply to the acquisition?
