2-22.2 Preliminary Prequalification Survey

If the required information and discussions do not provide an adequate basis for determining capability, the purchase/SCM team may conduct a preliminary prequalification survey. The extent of the survey must be consistent with the dollar value, complexity, or sensitivity of the purchase and may include any of the following:

  • Data on hand or from other government or commercial sources.
  • Examination of financial statements and records.
  • On-site assessment of plant, facilities, workforce, subcontractors, and other resources to be used in contract performance.

Results of the preliminary prequalification survey must be in writing and included with the capability determination and attached to the contract file.
