# §1480.504. Other circumstances for use of other than full and open competition.

- (a) Other circumstances may exist where the use of an IEE set-aside in accordance with 1480.401(a) and FAR 6.302-5 is not feasible. In such situations, the requirements of FAR subparts [6.3](/cfr/48/subpart6.3.md) and [13.5](/cfr/48/subpart13.5.md) and DIAR [subpart 1406.3](/cfr/48/subpart1406.3.md) apply in justifying the use of the appropriate authority for other than full and open competition.
- (b) Except as provided in FAR 5.202, all proposed acquisition actions must first be publicized in accordance with the requirements of FAR 5.2 and DIAR 1405.2.
- (c) Justifications for use of other than full and open competition in accordance with this section must be approved in accordance with DIAR [part 1406](/cfr/48/part1406.md). These approvals are required for a proposed contract or for an out of scope modification to an existing contract.
