Commentary
Within these regulations, purchase arrangements which establish more than one source of supply are either multiple or progressive award contracts. Competitive sealed bidding is the conventional procurement method for establishing such contracts, although competitive sealed proposals, small purchase procedures, and emergency procurements may be used if appropriate as determined in accordance with Section 3.106, Competitive Sealed Bids, Section 3.107, Competitive Sealed Proposals, Section 3.108, Purchases less than $50,000.01, and Section 3.110, Emergency Procurements, respectively.
