                   Subpart 715.6_Unsolicited Proposals

 

Sec. 715.602  Policy.





    (a) USAID encourages the submission of unsolicited proposals which 

contribute new ideas consistent with and contributing to the 

accomplishment of the Agency's objectives. However, the requirements for 

contractor resources are normally quite program specific, and thus 

widely varied, and must be responsive to host country needs. Futher, 

USAID's projects are usually designed in collaboration with the 

cooperating country. These factors can limit both the need for, and 

USAID's ability to use unsolicited proposals. Therefore, prospective 

offerors are encouraged to contact USAID to determine the Agency's 

technical and geographical requirements as related to the offeror's 

interests before preparing and submitting a formal unsolicited proposal.

    (b) USAID's basic policies and procedures regarding unsolicited 

proposals are those established in FAR subpart 15.6 and this subpart.

    (c) For detailed information on unsolicited proposals, see 715.604; 

for initial contact point within USAID, see 715.604(c).
