SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Presolicitation notices are used by the 

Government for several reasons, one of 

which is to aid prospective contractors 

in submitting proposals without undue 

expenditure of effort, time, and money. 

The Government also uses the 

presolicitation notices to control 

printing and mailing costs. The 

presolicitation notice response is used 

to determine the number of solicitation 

documents needed and to assure that 

interested offerors receive the 

solicitation documents. The responses 

are placed in the contract file and 

referred to when solicitation documents 

are ready for mailing. After mailing, the 

responses remain in the contract file 

and become a matter of record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Value engineering is the technique by 

which contractors (1) voluntarily 

suggest methods for performing more 

economically and share in any resulting 

savings or (2) are required to establish 

a program to identify and submit to the 

Government methods for performing 

more economically. These 

recommendations are submitted to the 

Government as value engineering 

change proposals (VECP’s) and they 

must include specific information. This 

information is needed to enable the 

Government to evaluate the VECP and, 

if accepted, to arrange for an equitable 

sharing plan.
