Interim Internal Purchasing Guidelines > Appendix A Solicitations
A.1.1 Introduction
This appendix discusses Postal Service solicitations and contains the text of
provisions discussed in Chapters 1 through 9 of the Postal Service's Interim
Internal Purchasing Guidelines.
A.1.2 Use
Postal Service solicitations are intended (1) to inform suppliers fully of the
Postal Service's needs for the particular purchase, (2) to explain how
proposals will be evaluated, and (3) to identify the particular aspects of value
deemed important to the success of the purchase.
A.1.3 Numbering of Provisions
Solicitation provisions are numbered by the chapter in the Interim Internal
Purchasing Guidelines in which their use is discussed. Thus, Provision 7-1,
Performance Bond Requirements, is prescribed in Chapter 7. Some
provisions are not discussed in Chapters 1 through 9, but may be used in
solicitations as deemed necessary by the purchase team. These provisions
are identified by an A prefix (for example, Provision A-1, Restrictions on
Disclosure and Use of Data). Part A.3, Solicitation Provisions, contains the
text of the provisions, and in parentheses to the right of the provision title is a
reference to the chapter, section, and part where the provision is prescribed.
When considering the inclusion of provisions in a solicitation, purchase teams
should consult the referenced text in the Interim Internal Purchasing
Guidelines.
