  CHAPTER 16--OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES HEALTH 
                     BENEFITS ACQUISITION REGULATION

  Subpart 1615.4--Solicitations and Receipt of Proposals and Quotations
 
Sec. 1615.401  Applicability.


    FAR subpart 15.4 has no practical application to the FEHBP because 
OPM does not issue solicitations. Eligible contractors (i.e., qualified 
health benefits carriers) are identified in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 
8903. Offerors voluntarily come forth in accordance with procedures 
provided in 5 CFR part 890.
