How to Do Business with Treasury
Part II: Unsolicited Proposals
Previous
| Next
An unsolicited proposal is an offer initiated and
submitted to the Department of the Treasury or one of its bureaus, without
solicitation from the Government, with the objective of obtaining a
contract. It is used to submit, for purposes of evaluation, unique or
novel ideas or concepts which the prospective contractor has originated,
conceived or developed and owns, and which may have application to the
work of the Department or one of its bureaus. Acceptance of proposals,
for evaluation does not imply a promise to pay, a recognition of novelty
or originality, or any restriction on the use of information contained
therein to which the Government would otherwise be entitled. The fact
that a requirement follows receipt of, or is based on, an unsolicited
proposal does not in and of itself justify sole source contracting.
Prospective Department of the Treasury contractors can make their new
ideas and novel concepts known by submitting an unsolicited proposal
to any of the bureaus which buy the type of item being proposed. Historically,
the Department has funded very few unsolicited proposals. For additional
information, contact Treasury’s
Small Business Specialists or review the IRS
Guide for Preparing and Submitting Unsolicited Proposals.
