2-25.3 Identifying and Selecting Functions

A proposal evaluation team should include only those functions that are critical to the support of the evaluation. Selected members from the purchase/SCM team (including the CO and others, if warranted) make up the proposal evaluation team. Non-Postal Service members may be included on the proposal evaluation team or as advisors if Postal Service members are not available to fill the functions needed on the team.

Other members of the proposal evaluation team from the Postal Service may include:

• Purchasing specialists, pricing analysts, and other specialists to evaluate a proposal’s price and cost aspects.
• Engineers, architects, and technical specialists to make technical judgments on the submitted proposals.
