Salient Characteristics

Salient characteristics means those qualities of an item that are essential to ensure that the intended use of the item can be satisfactorily realized. The term sets forth those salient physical, functional, or other characteristics of the referenced product that an equal product must have in order to meet the recipient’s needs. They cannot unduly restrict competition.

Detailed product specifications should be avoided if at all possible. When it is impractical or uneconomical to make a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements, a referenced make or model number may be used as a means to define other salient characteristics of a procurement. Specific features that must be met by offerors shall be clearly stated.

Distinguishing characteristics of the product can include:

• Reference to an existing make/model number

• Including descriptive literature such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information

• Any specifications, dimensions, color

Example

We have a requirement to purchase bandages. Our baseline is the Band-Aid brand bandage. Salient characteristics are:

• Flexible, sterile adhesive bandages

• Safety center pads

• Individually wrapped

• Between 1-3/4 inches wide and 3 inches long

Using these salient characteristics would allow for offers of numerous bandages other than Band-Aid.
