The government team meets individually with vendors.
Market research must be conducted thoroughly to ensure the right strategies, industry participants, and process are established to conduct an efficient, robust competition. Prior to issuance of the solicitation, government officials - including the program manager, users, or contracting officer - should meet with potential offerors to exchange general information and conduct market research related to an acquisition. While meeting with potential offerors, there is no requirement that the meetings include all possible offerors, nor is there a prohibition on one-on-one meetings.
- Market research that is done purely with Requests for Information, or other purely written submissions may not result in enough information to thoroughly ensure all aspects of the requirements or evaluation strategy are well communicated with industry
- Increased understanding of the Government requirements
