Using FAR Part 13 procedures, is it required to post the JOFOC for an action below $25,000 to FBO after contract award? I have posted the JOFOC before but haven't run into one below $25,000 and now have.

A J&A (or JOFOC) (FAR Subpart 6.3) for a FAR Part 13 buy?
No. No. No.
FAR Part 6 does not cover purchases made under FAR Part 13, except as may appear under 13.5 which is not applicable to the original posting.

ji20874 is correct. See FAR 6.001(a).

Sorry I meant to put in the original post that part 13.5 applies in my situation.

How is it possible for FAR Subpart 13.5 to apply? An acquisition under $25K cannot be subject to FAR Subpart 13.5. Never. See FAR 13.500( a ). Even if it is a commercial item procurement, FAR Subpart 13.5 only applies over the simplified acquisition threshold -- not under. Never. See FAR 13.500( a ). See also 13.106-1( b )( 2 ).
However, if FAR Subpart 13.5 applies (it doesn't, but just for the sake of discussion), then follow the rules in FAR Subpart 13.5. FAR 13.501( a )( 1 )( iii ) gives the instructions for posting a J&A (or JOFOC) when FAR Subpart 13.5 applies. But it doesn't apply.
READ the FAR.

But if you think FAR Subpart 13.5 does apply, then follow the posting instructions in FAR Subpart 13.5.
