The Government also uses the presolicitation notices to control printing and mailing costs. The presolicitation notice response is used to determine the number of solicitation documents needed and to assure that interested offerors receive the solicitation documents. The responses are placed in the contract file and referred to when solicitation documents are ready for mailing. After mailing, the responses remain in the contract file and become a matter of record. ycherry on PRODPC74 with NOTICES B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 5,310. Responses Per Respondent: 8.
