§ 1815.807-72 - Headquarters reviews.
-
Approval of the prenegotiation position by the Associate Administrator for Procurement is required before negotiations are entered into on any procurement action selected for Headquarters review. Generally, at the time a procurement is processed as a Master Buy Plan (MBP) action under subpart 1807.71, a decision will have been made as to whether the prenegotiation position will be subject to Headquarters review and approval. However, prenegotiation positions on any procurement actions may be selected for Headquarters review and approval at any point in the acquisition cycle prior to actual negotiations.
(a)
Advance information to be provided to Headquarters. The installation shall provide Code HS with the following, which shall be furnished as soon as practicable and sufficiently in advance of the planned commencement of negotiations to allow a reasonable period of time for Headquarters review:(1) Five copies of the PPM.
(2) One copy each of the contractor's proposal, the Government technical evaluation, and all pricing reports (including any audit reports).
(b)
Safeguarding prenegotiation material. Prenegotiation data are very sensitive and should be handled accordingly. Close coordination with Code HS personnel should be maintained to ensure that prenegotiation material is not comprised during transit. Distribution of prenegotiation data shall be made on a need-to-know basis.
