Sec. 307.7101  General.



    The program office's preparation of the RFC and submission to the 

contracting office completes the presolicitation phase of the 

acquisition planning process and commences the solicitation phase. The 

RFC is the formal document which initiates the preparation of the 

solicitation by the contracting office and sets the acquisition process 

in motion. It is the result of the planning by the project officer and 

contracting officer and contains much of the pertinent information 

necessary for the development of a sound, comprehensive solicitation.
