1.6. Characteristics of an ITN
An ITN is a solicitation process to select one or more vendors with which to commence negotiations for the procurement of goods and/or contractual services.
When the Aviation Authority determines that procurement by an Invitation to Bid or other solicitation method is not in the best interest of the Aviation Authority, and that negotiation may be necessary for the Aviation Authority to obtain the Best Value, the
ITN process may be used. In making the determination to utilize the ITN process, the
Aviation Authority may consider, in addition to any other relevant considerations, the following:
a. The simultaneous use of competitive negotiations would be beneficial to achieve the goal of Best Value within the Aviation Authority’s budget.
b. Price is an important factor but not significant enough by itself to justify award to a low bidder.
c. Limited availability of competition.
d. Non-standard products or services are required.
e. Multiple options for achieving the desired results likely exist.
f. A contract of high complexity may be required.
g. Uncertainty of the ability to obtain results within the budget or time requirements.
h. Requirements for needed products or services cannot be specified with certainty.
i. There is an emphasis on new technology with innovative solutions and a range of options are available.
j. Flexibility in determining the Best Value for the Aviation Authority is paramount.
k. Items or services are mission critical to the Aviation Authority’s operation.
l. A process of re-engineering may be required.
m. The marketplace is experiencing constant change and updated solutions are pertinent.
Professional and technical expertise and qualifications of firms are critical to the success of the project or provision of services.
