791 contracts are awarded through public competitive procurement processes administered with participating lead agencies.

Streamlined Purchasing

791 states that eligible agencies can purchase from an awarded contract for the covered scope without issuing a separate solicitation for the same purchase, subject to their own applicable requirements.
