6 U.S.C. § 394 — Unsolicited proposals
submitted 24 years ago by Pub. L. 107-296 to r/title-6-DOMESTIC-SECURITY · 89 words · no verdicts yet
This law required new federal rules for handling unsolicited business proposals sent to Homeland Security. Those rules must have officials check whether a proposal was not submitted in response to a posted request. They must also check that it includes real technical and cost information.
(a) Regulations required: Within 1 year of November 25, 2002, the Federal Acquisition Regulation had to be revised to add rules about "unsolicited proposals" — meaning proposals sent to the agency* that were not asked for.
(b) Content of regulations: Those new regulations must require that, before starting a full evaluation of a proposal, an agency contact point must consider — among other things — whether the proposal: (1) was not submitted in response to a requirement the agency had already published; and (2) includes technical and cost information that can be evaluated for overall scientific, technical, or socioeconomic merit, or for cost- or price-related factors.
Within 1 year of November 25, 2002, the Federal Acquisition Regulation shall be revised to include regulations with regard to unsolicited proposals.
The regulations prescribed under subsection (a) shall require that before initiating a comprehensive evaluation, an agency* contact point shall consider, among other factors, that the proposal—
is not submitted in response to a previously published agency requirement; and
contains technical and cost information for evaluation and overall scientific, technical or socioeconomic merit, or cost-related or price-related factors.
