Once you completed the solicitation package and submitted it to our office, we will work towards negotiating and awarding a beneficial contract with our firm. There are many terms and conditions that affect a final award decision, so contract award is not automatic, nor is it guaranteed.
It is our goal to complete the processing of an offer in 180 calendar days or less from the date it is received in our office; however, it is difficult to give a specific timeframe as there are many factors that affect the ultimate time from submission of an offer through contract award. The length of time needed to complete your offer is affected by the:
Complexity of your commercial pricing strategies
Number of line items proposed
Amount of you time you (vendor) take to respond requests for clarifications
Work Load issues faced by your assigned Contracting Officer
Finally, the award timeline may be lengthened if your proposal requires additional review or audit by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
