PART 805 - PUBLICIZING CONTRACT ACTIONS

(NOTE:   See approved deviation dated December 18, 2001)

SUBPART 805.2 - SYNOPSES OF PROPOSED CONTRACTS

§805.202   Exceptions.

In accordance with FAR 5.202, the contract actions in §806.302-5 do not require synopsizing.

§805.205   Special situations. See approved deviation dated September 4,1997

Note:   Class Deviation to VAAR 805.205, Special situations, approved 9/19/1997, increase the "not to exceed" threshold for use of paid advertisement for architect-engineer services to $25,000.

Contracting officers are hereby delegated authority to procure paid advertising in a daily newspaper circulated in the local area, for the purpose of publicizing a proposed procurement of architect-engineer services expected not to exceed $10,000.

§805.207   Preparation and transmittal of synopses.

At such time as an architect-engineer evaluation board is ready to advertise for architect-engineer services, it must establish the geographic area within which architect-engineer firms (including joint ventures) will be considered. The area determined must be large enough to assure selection of three to five firms highly qualified for the particular project involved, but not so large as to make the evaluation process unduly burdensome.

SUBPART 805.5 - PAID ADVERTISEMENTS:::

Note:   Class Deviation to VAAR 805.502(c), Paid Advertisements, approved 3/31/1995, delegates authority to contracting officers to use alternate procedures set forth in Federal Acquisition regulation (FAR) Subpart 5.5, which allows paid advertisements in newspapers and other media, when contracting for professional services (i.e., scarce medical specialist services, specialized medical specialist services, advisory and assistance services, and architect-engineer services). This authority may be used, in addition to standard publication/synopsis requirements, to reach individual professionals or professional groups that are being targeted in the local area.

§805.502 Authority.
