               PART 4G06--COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS

      Subpart 4G06.3--Other than Full and Open Competition

4G06.302-70 Unusual and compelling urgency, wildland fire contracts.
  Wildland fire agencies do not have any special acquisition 
authorities for establishing emergency incident contracts.  Cite 
the general unusual and compelling urgency authority when an 
emergency situation warrants the use of this exception to full 
and open competition.
  Unusual and compelling urgency authority is generally not 
appropriate for prescribed fire contracts.  Establish indefinite-
delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), multiple award contracts in 
accordance with FAR Part 16.5 for meeting prescribed fire needs 
to the maximum extent practicable.
