An unsolicited proposal is the offer to sell to the Postal Service the rights to ideas, concepts, products, processes, or technology. It is considered unsolicited because it is not submitted in response to a solicitation, RFP, or any other Postal Service-initiated solicitation or program.
Unsolicited proposals must include enough technical and cost information to allow an effective initial evaluation of what is being proposed and its potential benefits to the Postal Service. Unsolicited proposals are only accepted for initial evaluation when they do not contain confidential or proprietary information not protected by copyright or patent. Therefore, a signed copy of the Confidential Disclosure Disclaimer must be included when submitting the proposal to certify that it does not contain any confidential or proprietary information not protected by copyright or patent. Unsolicited proposals that do not contain a signed copy of the disclaimer will be returned to the submitter unreviewed.
