II.  NATURE AND/OR DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING PROCESSED

State whether the action will be awarded as a new contract or by modification to an existing contract (identify contract number) and identify the type contract planned (e.g., firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-incentive-fee, etc.).  If exception 2 is cited (unusual or compelling urgency), state date of UCA/contract/modification issuance and amount.  

An individual J&A cannot be used to support more than one contract irrespective of the quantities or the dollar value stated therein. If a proposed contract will contain unpriced options (including NTE prices), those options must be supported by a separate J&A prior to option exercise or the J&A supporting the basic contract must be a Class J&A.  For Class J&A situations where the number of contracts in the class can be identified:  (1) Provide brief general description of actions, (2) identify the document as a Class J&A, (3) identify the supplies and services that are being acquired, and (4) for each contract in the class identify the contractor; estimated value; type of contract and rationale for contract length; and estimated award date.  Where the same information applies to more than one contract within the class, it need only be stated one time. (See FAR 6.303-2(a)(2); AFFARS MP5306.304).
