Sec. 629. (a) None of the funds appropriated by this or any other Act may be expended by any Federal Agency to procure any product or service that is subject to the provisions of Public Law 89–306 and that will be available under the procurement by the Administrator of General Services known as “FTS2000” unless— (1) such product or service is procured by the Administrator of General Services as part of the procurement known as “FTS2000”; or (2) that agency establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrator of General Services that— (A) that agency’s requirements for such procurement are unique and cannot be satisfied by property and service procured by the Administrator of General Services as part of the procurement known as “FTS2000”; and (B) the agency procurement, pursuant to such delegation, would be cost-effective and would not adversely affect the cost-effectiveness of the FTS2000 procurement.
