§ 315.406-2 - Part I—The Schedule.

(a) Section A, Solicitation/contract form.

(3) Contracting activities are encouraged to use SF 33 for RFPs. In those instances where a contracting activity believes the SF 33 is not appropriate, a transmittal letter may be used. However, it is essential that the transmittal letter contain the pertinent information that must be brought to the attention of prospective offerors, so the information contained in FAR 15.406-2(a)(3) shall be included in it. The transmittal letter should also contain reference to the solicitation provision “Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Proposals or Quotations” and stress the importance of timeliness. The last paragraph of the transmittal letter should provide the name and complete telephone number of a contract specialist who can provide information concerning the solicitation.
