§ 1815.413 - Disclosure and use of information before award.

(a) The alternate procedures at FAR 15.413-2 shall be used for NASA procurements in lieu of those prescribed at FAR 15.413-1. The policies and procedures of FAR 15.413 and NFS 1815.413-2 shall apply both before and after award. The notice at FAR 15.413-2(e) shall be placed on the cover sheet of all proposals, whether solicited or unsolicited. (See 1805.303-70(a)(1)(iii) regarding release of the names of firms submitting offers.)

(b) During evaluation proceedings, whether or not a source evaluation board is used, NASA personnel participating in any way in the evaluation may not reveal any information concerning the evaluation to anyone not also participating, and then only to the extent that the information is required in connection with the evaluation. When non-NASA personnel participate, they shall be instructed to observe these restrictions. (Information shall be provided to unsuccessful offerors in accordance with FAR 15.1004 and 1815.1004. See also 1815.413-2.)
