- Description:
- The document is in response to a solicitation for comments regarding the Federal Acquisition Regulations "Rule of Two" and expresses opposition to any regulation that excludes businesses from competing for federal contracts, particularly in the Architect-Engineer industry. The document urges the Office of Federal Procurement Policy to replace the Rule of Two with a free and open competition standard mandated by the Competition in Contracting Act. The document also criticizes the justification of procurement regulations based on government convenience rather than helping small businesses, and highlights the negative impact of the Rule of Two on competition in the Architect-Engineer industry.
