# §719.271-7. Reports on procurement actions that are exempted from screening.

- (a) **Unilateral and class set-asides.** The contracting officer shall prepare Form USAID 1410-14 as stated in 719.271-6, but forward only the duplicate copy with the documentation required by Block 5 of the form to OSDBU. The original will be filed in the contract file.
  - (1) If, upon review of the material submitted under 719.271-7(a) above, OSDBU concludes that it would be practicable to accomplish all or a portion of the procurement involved under [section 8(a)](/cfr/48/8.md?p=a) subcontracting, it shall so advise the contracting officer in writing within five days after receipt of such material.
  - (2) Such advice shall be considered a counter-recommendation and shall be processed in accordance with 719.271-6 (d) and (e).
- (b) **Public exigency exemption.** The contracting officer shall prepare Form USAID 1410-14 as stated in 719.271-6, but forward only the duplicate copy with the documentation required by Block 5 of the form to OSDBU.

- (c) **Institution building contract (IBC) exemption.** The contracting officer shall prepare Form USAID 1410-14 as stated in 719.271-6, but forward only the duplicate copy with the documentation required by Block 5 of the form to OSDBU.
