 1.6.3 Small Purchase Contracts are defined to be contracts in which the acquisition amount
does not exceed $25,000. Award of Small Purchase A-E Contracts follow simplified
procedures, in accordance with FAR 36.6, which in turn, implements the provisions of the
Brooks Act.
1.6.4 Sole Source Contracts. The legal requirement for public announcement is "to assure the
broadest publicity concerning Government A/E se&e procurement" and thereby ensure a high
level of competition in the award of A-E contracts. However, when there is no competition
(e.g., when only one A-E firm responds to a synopsis), sole source contracting procedures are
followed. Sole source contract awards exceeding $100,000 require PACNAVFACENGCOM
approval; sole source contract awards exceeding $1,000,000 require NAVFACENGCOM
approval.
1.6.5. Non-Appropriated Funded (NAF) Contracts. Procurement of NAF A-E contracts was
previously exempted from the Brooks Act procedures. In FY 93, NAVFACENGCOM rescinded
the exemption and required full implementation of Brooks Act procedures for all NAF A-E
contracts. NAF activities include the Navy Exchange/Commissary and all Morale, Welfare and
Recreation (MWR) activities, including the clubs, bowling alleys, golf courses, restaurants and
other food concessions, swimming pools, etc.
