Overview
A Justification and Approval (J&A) is required for an existing award when a proposed action triggers competition. Competition is not triggered by any action taken specifically in accordance with a term and condition of the award. Competition may be required for modifications of existing contracts that exceed the scope of the original contract by adding new work through an increase to the total estimated cost (TEC) of the award, a change to the Statement of Work (SOW), or an extension of the period of performance (POP).
