A Request for Final Proposal is an offer submitted to the Government in a competitive negotiated procurement after discussions have been concluded. The Government will request such proposal revisions from all offerors still in the competitive range.
Receive and Analyze Final Proposal - Five parties perform the majority of the effort in evaluating offers. The contracting officer has overall responsibility for managing the acquisition function. The SSEB chairman appoints a technical evaluation panel and a management evaluation panel to examine the technical proposal and the management structure of the proposal, respectively. The SSEB and the contracting officer review the panels' findings as a quality check. The SSEB forwards the proposals, with recommendations for the best-value proposal, to the SSAC.
