• Personal or agency preference for a product or vendor
• Agency perception that the vendor is the best qualified (this should be determined through a competitive process)
• Lack of agency planning resulting in limited time to conduct a competitive procurement
• Special incentive or deal offered (can be assessed in open and competitive solicitation)
• Agency convenience

Acquisition Sciences has expended considerable effort ensuring that the requirements of the
Uniform Act for Relocation and the Federal Highway Administration are being met. The other

requirements are met, maintain consistency within the relocation program, and maintain cost
and project schedule.
