PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

There should be no side discussions with government or contractor personnel during the pre-proposal conference. Discussions with government personnel must be free and open for everyone in attendance to hear.

You should write down questions during the briefings and present them to the contracting officer during or after the site visit if you want an official response.

Government personnel will try to respond to questions posed during the conference to the best of their ability. However, any verbal answers given by government personnel in response to questions posed during the conference shall not be binding. If you have specific questions that you believe are critical to the success of your proposal, you should submit them in writing so the government can provide an official answer. The deadline for submitting questions is 23 Aug 07.

The government will post non-proprietary questions and answers to keep a level playing field.

The government will provide one copy of all briefing materials to each prospective bidder (one per firm).

The government will video tape the Pre-Proposal Conference for record purpose.
