      Subpart 811.1_Selecting and Developing Requirements Documents

 

Sec. 811.104-72  Procedure for negotiated procurements.



    (a) The policies and procedures prescribed in 811.104-70 and 

811.104-71 should be used as a guide in developing adequate purchase 

descriptions for negotiated procurements.

    (b) The clause at 852.211-77 may be adapted for use in negotiated 

procurements. If use of the clause is not practicable (as may be the 

case in unusual and compelling urgency purchases), suppliers shall be 

suitably informed that proposals offering products different from the 

products referenced by brand name will be considered if the contracting 

officer determines that such offered products are equal in all material 

respects to the products referenced.
