Steps In the Source Selection Process

07/16/96 Background

NAVFAC has traditionally employed FAR Parts 14 and 15 to procure facility services greater than $100,000. Both procurement methods include laborious clause packages. FAR Part 14 requires evaluation solely based on price, responsibility, and responsiveness to the solicitation. Consequently, FAR Part 14 allows limited past performance evaluation. FAR Part 15 permits evaluations of offerors based on both technical and price factors; however, the procurement process is very formal and time consuming. Neither section encourages the contracting officer to investigate/research how similar products are procured in the commercial market place.

Attachment (A) outlines a comparison of procurement tools.

As early as 1972, the legislative and executive branches recognized the need to eliminate unnecessary government specifications and clauses, to streamline the acquisition process, and to ultimately expand commercial item purchases.

Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA): In 1994, the following changes were incorporated by FASA:

· DEFINED COMMERCIAL ITEM - FAR Part 2 incorporated the FASA definition of “commercial item” to be “other than real property, that is of a type customarily used for non-governmental purposes” and that:

v Has been sold, leased or licensed to the general public;

v Has been offered for sale, lease, or license to the general public;

v Has evolved from a commercial item that is sold or offered for sale – as a result of technological advancement;

v Requires either modifications of a type that is customarily available in the commercial marketplace or minor modifications for unique government purposes; or v Is any combination of the above.

· REQUIRED MARKET RESEARCH - Market research analysis determines if the government can buy a particular item in the commercial market place. FASA clearly identifies market research as the first step in any acquisition. FAR Part 10 implemented this requirement. Market research involves collecting and analyzing market place information to determine the following:

v If an item is available in the market place;

v Customary practices of customizing, modifying or tailoring items to meet customers needs;

v Terms and conditions under which commercial sales are made; and v Distribution and logistics support capabilities of potential suppliers.

· DEVELOPED NEW CLAUSES - FAR Part 12 implements the FASA requirements that federal commercial item contracts contain only clauses consistent with customary commercial practices.

FASA granted contracting officers significant discretion when acquiring commercial items. The rules for procuring commercial item acquisitions are intentionally broad, so as to encourage government contracting officers to exercise sound business judgment. The policies rely heavily on contracting officers’ education, training and professional expertise for his or her effective decision-making.

Federal Acquisition Reform Act (FARA): Just a year after the passage of FASA, FARA relaxed certain laws when acquiring commercial items. The laws specifically addressed the following:

· Relieves suppliers of commercial items from submitting certified cost or pricing data.

· Exempts commercial item contracts and subcontracts from cost accounting standards.

· Requires agencies to establish special simplified procedures for purchases up to $5,000,000, when the contracting officer reasonably expects that only offers of commercial items will be received.
