Sec. 636.111  Can oral presentations be used during the procurement process?

    (a) Yes, the use of oral presentations as a substitute for portions 
of a written proposal can be effective in streamlining the source 
selection process. Oral presentations may occur at any time in the 
acquisition process, however, you must comply with the appropriate State 
procurement integrity standards.
    (b) Oral presentations may substitute for, or augment, written 
information. You must maintain a record of oral

presentations to document what information you relied upon in making the 
source selection decision. You may decide the appropriate method and 
level of detail for the record (e.g., videotaping, audio tape recording, 
written record, contracting agency notes, copies of offeror briefing 
slides or presentation notes). A copy of the record should be placed in 
the contract file and may be provided to offerors upon request.
