                  Subpart 2915.6_Unsolicited Proposals

 

Sec. 2915.606  Agency procedures.



    When an unsolicited proposal is received by an official of the 

Department of Labor, the recipient of the proposal must forward it to 

the HCA. The HCA must address the requirements of FAR 15.604. The HCA 

must determine if there is an office(s) within the Department of Labor 

whose mission could be impacted by the proposal. If there is, the HCA 

must designate a recipient within that office as an ``assignee'', and 

take the following action:

    (a) Within seven (7) working days of receipt, the HCA must forward 

the proposal to the assignee along with instructions concerning the 

security, review and disposition of the document.

    (1) Inform the offeror of this transfer in writing (preferably by 

facsimile or other electronic means).

    (2) Within one (1) month of receipt of the unsolicited proposal by 

the assignee, the office receiving the proposal must determine the merit 

of the unsolicited proposal.

    (i) If the office finds insufficient merit to consider the 

unsolicited proposal further, then a letter will be sent to inform the 

offeror that their proposal will not be considered further, and is not 

being retained.

    (ii) If, after a comprehensive evaluation as defined by FAR 15.606-

2, the office finds merit in the proposal, it must consult with a 

Department of Labor contracting officer for direction in complying with 

FAR 15.607. If not excluded by a condition of FAR 15.607(a), a 

requisition may be prepared in accordance with FAR 15.607(b). If the 

requirement exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold inclusive of 

options then a request must be prepared for the Procurement Review Board 

in accordance with Department of Labor procedures stated in Department 

of Labor Manual Series 2-830 (available by mail from the Division of 

Acquisition Management Services).

    (b) If within one (1) month of receipt (by the HCA) no assignee can 

be identified, the HCA must notify the offeror that the proposal is not 

being considered further.
