Your customer has a complex requirement that has not been procured by your agency before. She knows several firms that perform the kinds of services she anticipates will be required. What type of presolicitation exchange would you recommend?
a. Meet exclusively one on one with a contractor to determine if the services should be part of a competitive requirement or sole-sourced.
b. Scheduled product demonstrations for firms to pre-qualify themselves for the upcoming solicitation.
c. One on one meetings with potential offerors addressing feasibility of the requirement, including performance requirements, statements of work, and data requirements.
d. There is no reason to hold presolicitation meetings just because the requirement is complex.
