8-1.14 Presolicitation Notices

As discussed in Section 2-27, Issue RFPs and Publicize Requirements, a presolicitation notice may be issued for construction projects. Notices may be distributed to plan hold rooms, companies on solicitation mailing lists maintained by the purchasing office, and any other known interested parties within the Postal Service or members of the public. Any presolicitation notice issued must include a statement of the project’s magnitude in terms of physical characteristics and an estimated price range (for example, 30,000 sq. ft. building with an estimate cost range of $500,000 to $1,000,000 for the project). However, in no event may the statement disclose the Postal Service estimate.
