Direct Award Procedure Clause Samples

Typically, this clause outlines the specific circumstances or thresholds under which a direct award is permissible, such as urgent requirements, unique supplier capabilities, or low-value contracts. Its core practical function is to provide a streamlined and efficient method for procurement when competition is impractical or unnecessary, thereby saving time and administrative resources.
