"Your post is all over the place. It seems like you're not comprehending the things that you are reading/referencing, but I hope this will help get your thoughts organized. \nFirst, \"DOD Class Justification are Used Primarily for Acquisition of Weapon Systems and related Components\" from the GAO report is  one of the key findings from GAO's analysis of the DOD's Use of Class Justifications for Sole-Souce Contracts....so the referenced material leading to that conclusion is in the two and a half pages following that heading. \n\"Taking in this consideration of using the term Sole Source Justification… is there such a thing called Class Sole Source Justification. The only place I have found where there is even a mention of “Class” Justification is under FAR 6.303.\" \n...your first question was on a GAO analsis of the \"DOD's Use of Class Justifications for Sole Source Contracts\"...it seems pretty obvious that  justifications approved on a class basis exist. \nAnd to your final question about your plan: It depends. What are your agency/local requirements and process for obtaining a class justification for sole source contracts approval is? You need to consider this, the total number of aniticpated contracts and the anticipated dollar value of each of your potential contracts to determine if pursuing a class justification is a better path than getting a sole source J&amp;A approved for each contract. \nIf the dollar value of each individual contract is at a level where the KO can approve the J&amp;A, would it be worth the effort to get one class J&amp;A at a higher level of approval when in accordance with the FAR the contracting officer must still document the contract file to ensure that each contract action taken is pursuant to the authority of the class justification and approval is within the scope of the class justification? \nYou should re-read FAR Part 6, then the DFARS, your agency supplement, etc. all the way down to your local policy to answer this question for yourself. \n"
