§ 2415.407 - Solicitation provisions.

(a) The Contracting Officer shall insert a provision substantially the same as the provision at 48 CFR 2452.215-70, Proposal Content, in all solicitations for negotiated procurements using the best value approach selection method expected to exceed the simplified acquisition limit. The Contracting officer shall adapt paragraph (c) of the provision (i.e., include, delete, and provide additional detail to subparagraphs) to address the particular requirements of the immediate solicitation. The provision may be used in simplified acquisitions when it is necessary to obtain technical and management information in making the award selection. When award selection will be made through the lowest-priced technically acceptable proposal method, the provision shall be used with its Alternate I. If the proposed contract requires work on, or access to, sensitive automated systems as required by the clause at 48 CFR 2452.237-76, the provision shall be used with its Alternate II.
