5301.170 Peer Reviews

(a) DPC Peer Reviews.

(2) To facilitate planning for and execution of DoD Peer Reviews (see DFARS 201.170 for applicable competitive and noncompetitive thresholds), the SCO must use the Peer Review and Clearance Forecasting Tool to submit quarterly peer review forecasts by the 15th of March, June, September, and December each year. SAF/AQC will submit a consolidated forecast to DPC on behalf of the DAF at the end of each quarter. When DoD Peer Review is required, follow the procedures in MP5301.9001(a)(1)(i)(A)(2)(g), MP5301.9001(i)(2)(vi)(A)(1)(c), or MP5301.9001(i)(2)(vi) as appropriate, regarding clearance.

(b) Component Peer Reviews. Pre-award peer reviews of solicitations for competitive procurements and pre-award peer reviews for non-competitive procurements not subject to the requirements of DFARS 201.170(a)(1)(i) or (ii) must be accomplished by complying with the clearance requirements in DAFFARS 5301.90.
