15.605 - Content of unsolicited proposals | FAR Navigator

15.605

Content of unsolicited proposals

Unsolicited proposals must include detailed basic, technical, and supporting information to ensure objective and timely government evaluation.

Overview

FAR 15.605 outlines the required content for unsolicited proposals submitted to the government. The section specifies the information that offerors must include to ensure their proposals are considered objectively and efficiently. The requirements are divided into three main categories: basic information, technical information, and supporting information. Each category details specific data points, such as organizational details, technical objectives, personnel qualifications, pricing, contract preferences, and disclosures regarding conflicts of interest or prior agency contacts. This structure ensures that proposals are comprehensive, transparent, and provide evaluators with all necessary information to make informed decisions.

Key Rules

Basic Information
- Include offeror’s name, address, organization type, contact personnel, proprietary data identification, submission date, and authorized signature.
Technical Information
- Provide a concise title and abstract, detailed discussion of objectives and methods, key personnel bios, and required agency support.
Supporting Information
- Detail proposed price/cost, proposal validity period, preferred contract type, project duration, organizational background, conflict of interest statements, and prior agency contacts.

Responsibilities

Contracting Officers: Must ensure unsolicited proposals contain all required information before evaluation.
Contractors: Must prepare and submit proposals with all specified content to facilitate timely and objective review.
Agencies: Should provide clear guidance and ensure compliance with content requirements for unsolicited proposals.

Practical Implications

This section exists to standardize unsolicited proposal submissions, reducing delays and incomplete evaluations.
Contractors benefit by knowing exactly what information is required, minimizing the risk of rejection due to missing content.
Common pitfalls include omitting key personnel details, failing to identify proprietary data, or not specifying the proposal validity period.

General Contracts

Detail proposed price/cost, validity period (minimum 6 months suggested), preferred contract type, and project duration.

Disclose organizational background, conflicts of interest, security clearances, environmental impacts, and prior agency contacts.

Identify proprietary data for evaluation purposes only.

Include key personnel bios and specify required agency support.

Include offeror’s name, address, organization type, and authorized signature.

List other agencies or parties receiving the proposal or funding.

Provide contact information for technical and business personnel.

Submit a concise technical abstract and detailed discussion of objectives and methods.
