PART 11_DESCRIBING AGENCY NEEDS--Table of Contents

 

      Subpart 11.1_Selecting and Developing Requirements Documents

 

Sec. 11.107  Solicitation provision.



    (a) Insert the provision at 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal, when 

brand name or equal purchase descriptions are included in a 

solicitation.

    (b) Insert the provision at 52.211-7, Alternatives to Government-

Unique Standards, in solicitations that use Government-unique standards 

when the agency uses the transaction-based reporting method to report 

its use of voluntary consensus standards to the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (see OMB Circular A-119, ``Federal 

Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus 

Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities''). Use of the 

provision is optional for agencies that report their use of voluntary 

consensus standards to the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology using the categorical reporting method. Agencies that manage 

their specifications on a contract-by-contract basis use the 

transaction-based method of reporting. Agencies that manage their 

specifications centrally use the categorical method of reporting. Agency 

regulations regarding specification management describe which method is 

used.
