Draper is Exempt from Full and Open Competition
In accordance with 10 U.S.C 2304 (c)(3)(B), implemented through the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), full and open competition need not be provided for when authorized under FAR 6.302-3 “to establish and maintain an essential engineering, research, or development capability to be provided by an educational or other nonprofit institution.”
This exemption is reinforced by Department of Defense (DoD) policy guidance issued since 1987 and validated by Under Secretary of Defense, Frank Kendall Memorandum, dated March 13, 2015.
