How much time should an agency allow for the CAT review process when selecting a posting date and what is the best approach for incorporating CAT review into the procurement process?
In order to avoid impeding the agency’s procurement process, state agencies should submit their major contract solicitation documents(s) after final agency approval or for some state agencies, after final executive-level approval (final executive- level approval may be necessary for some major contract solicitation documents, especially for IT-related solicitations) but before posting on the ESBD. The CAT recommends Procurement, Contract Management, and Legal personnel incorporate the thirty (30) day CAT review period into their procurement schedule to avoid potential delays to the agency’s solicitation, evaluation, and award process.
