An Other than Full & Open Competition (Called a Sole Source Procurement) is when the government enters into a contract with a contractor without going through the typical competitive process as required by law because it deems that the contractor is the only source available that can meet the government requirements.
The Government shall not accept supplies or services under a contract conditioned upon the availability of funds until the contracting officer has given the contractor notice, to be confirmed in writing, that funds are available.

Soliciting bids without having the funds to make a contract award is not a best practice. Companies have to spend time and money to prepare the bids with no chance of award, and the process would also reveal bid prices to competitors with no financial gain.
Sole-source contracts are a kind of contract that can be issued without a competitive bidding process. This usually happens in situations where only a single business can fulfill the requirements of a contract.
