2-33.2 Proposal Risks Identification

“Proposal risk” refers to the risk associated with the potential supplier’s proposed approach to meeting the client’s requirements. The evaluation of proposal risk includes an assessment of proposed time, resources, and recommended adjustments. This assessment should be performed according to the definitions and evaluation standards developed in Section 2-26, Develop Proposal Evaluation Strategy.

Risk analysis will identify the following to assess the overall risks if the potential supplier is awarded the contract:

  • Critical risk elements inherent in the proposal.
  • New risks resulting from inconsistencies and discrepancies between various suppliers’ proposals.
  • Risks signaled by any unsubstantiated representations made in any supplier’s proposal.

Not all risks are equally important to the Postal Service; however, a given risk factor may pose such a threat to successful contract performance as to render the entire proposal as “high” risk.
