Can contractors who currently work with us be a bidder during this competitive sourcing competition?
The current competitions at Headquarters and the Volpe Center are being conducted as streamlined competitions using market research. While the ATO is preparing the government’s proposal, the Contracting Officer will be developing an estimated cost for the private sector to perform the Requirement Statement. This process will be conducted using documented market research to determine the estimated cost. There will be no opportunity for the private sector to develop a More Efficient Organization, or to submit a proposal.
