- Description
- Sources Sought Instructions *Sources Sought Synopsis template starts on Page 2 Sources Sought Instructions (These can be deleted prior to request for KO review of the completed Sources Sought Synopsis template): Since a Sources Sought posting is not the same as a normal solicitation, it requires a different process. 1. Create a Solicitation document (just to get a solicitation number). You do not need to fill out the solicitation now, since we just need it for the number (if eventually doing a competitive purchase, the solicitation document can be filled out at that time. If eventually doing a sole source, the solicitation document may never be completed, which is fine). 2. Fill out a Sources Sought Synopsis. A template is located on pages 2 and 3 of this document. 3. Have the Sources Sought Synopsis document approved by the Contracting Officer, and then post on ASFI; there will be an option to choose "Sources Sought" once you enter the solicitation number in the ASFI posting process. 4. The Sources Sought Synopsis should automatically transfer from ASFI to FedBizOpps. Upload proof of FedBizOpps posting to PCF. 5. Document all responses in the Sources Sought Responses Summary excel document. 6. Upload the companies' responses (emails, attachments, etc) to PCF. 7. Work with the TPOC to determine which companies he believes can meet his requirement based on their responses to the Sources Sought posting.
