The Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) requires federal agencies to obtain full and open competition when awarding contracts, ensuring that all qualified vendors have an equal opportunity to compete for government contracts. The act mandates that contracts be awarded based on competitive procedures, which may include sealed bidding or competitive proposals. This promotes transparency, fairness, and efficiency in government procurement processes. Exceptions to this requirement exist but are limited and must be justified.
The Clayton Act made certain practices illegal when their effect was to lessen competition or to create a monopoly.
Federal law outlawing monopolies in order to preserve competition
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 was the first measure passed by the U.S. Congress to prohibit trusts or business activities that federal government regulators deem to be anticompetitive. It also requires the federal government to investigate and pursue trusts (monopolies).
The Federal Records Act requires AF agencies to create and preserve records.
The National Industrial Recovery Act was a New Deal program that set the prices of many products to ensure fair competition.
The statutory requirement that ensures full and open competition for government acquisitions is the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA). This act requires federal agencies to obtain full and open competition in their acquisitions, ensuring fair and equitable opportunities for all potential vendors to compete for government contracts.
The Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) generally promotes full and open competition in government contracting. It does not specifically require that contract requirements be written to favor incumbent contractors for follow-on contracts. However, if a contracting agency intentionally restricts competition through overly specific requirements that only the incumbent can meet, it could violate CICA principles. Agencies must ensure that requirements are clear and competitive to allow all qualified vendors the opportunity to bid.
