After the organization conducts its initial review, and, if the unsolicited proposal is deemed innovative and potentially beneficial to business objectives, the submitter will be asked to provide either a more complete written proposal and⁄or an oral presentation to a purchase⁄SCM team within the Postal Service. Confidential or proprietary information should not be presented at this stage of review.
If a more thorough evaluation of the proposal can be gained only by the review of confidential or proprietary information, the Postal Service will consider entering into a Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) with the submitter which ensures privacy and confidentiality and the Postal Service’s protection of information. NDAs are available from Assigned counsel and may not be entered into before consultation with assigned counsel.
The submitter will be notified if the Postal Service determines that the unsolicited proposal is not potentially beneficial.
