PART 1505_PUBLICIZING CONTRACT ACTIONS--Table of Contents
 
          Subpart 1505.2_Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions
 
Sec. 1505.203  Publicizing and response time.

    (a) The Contracting Officer may, at his/her discretion under certain 
circumstances, elect to transmit a synopsis to the Commerce Business 
Daily (CBD) of a proposed contract action that falls within an exception 
to the synopsis requirement in FAR 5.202(a). For those contract actions, 
the Contracting Officer may provide for a lesser time period than the 15 
days required by FAR 5.203(a) and the 30 days required by FAR 5.203 (c) 
or (d), and the 45 days required by FAR 5.203(e). The Contracting 
Officer must identify the basis for the lesser time periods for response 
in the synopsis.
    (b) The authority for paragraph (a) does not extend to the synopsis 
of contract actions falling within the exception in FAR 5.202(a)(7), if 
to do so would disclose the originality of thought or innovativeness of 
the proposed research.
