Response.
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
SUMMARY:
305
B. Need and Uses
Presolicitation notices are used by the
Government to inform, and, where
specified, solicit a response from
potential offerors or bidders. The
primary purposes of the notices are to
improve small business access to
acquisition information and enhance
competition by identifying contracting
and subcontracting opportunities. This
clearance covers the information that
offerors must submit to comply with the
following Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) requirements:
• For sealed bidding (FAR 14.205),
presolicitation notices briefly describe
requirements and provide other
essential information to enable potential
bidders to determine whether they have
an interest in the invitation and if
appropriate, respond by communicating
their interest in receiving the invitation
for bid.
• For contracting by negotiation (FAR
15.201(c)), presolicitation notices
provide a means of early exchanges of
information about future acquisitions
between Government and industry, to
which potential offerors may respond
with feedback concerning acquisition
strategy, terms and conditions, and any
other concerns or questions.
• For construction contracts (FAR
36.213–2), presolicitation notices are
required for construction requirements
in excess of the simplified acquisition
threshold to communicate essential
information on the requirements, to
which potential bidders may respond
communicating their interest in
receiving the invitation for bid.
Contracting officers use the
information as follows:
• For sealed bidding, to include
interested bidders in the distribution of
the invitations for bids; and
• For contracting by negotiation, to
consider the industry feedback in
shaping the acquisition strategy.

D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register at 85 FR 66565, on
October 20, 2020. One comment was
received; however, it did not change the
estimate of the burden.
Comment: The commenter requested
the requirement for presolicitation
notices be removed from the FAR. The
commenter does not see their value; and
stated that presolicitation notices
lengthen the acquisition timelines
unnecessarily.
Response: Presolicitation notices are
required by statute; see FAR 5.201. The
primary purposes of the notices are to
improve small business access to
acquisition information and enhance
competition by identifying contracting
and subcontracting opportunities. The
commenter did not express an opinion
on whether the estimated number of
burden hours is accurate; or ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information.
