Hear directly from vendors and their technical experts.
Oral presentations (see FAR 15.102) allow the Government to hear directly from the vendor and their technical experts about their solutions and create a dialogue.
- Vendors get to showcase their true capabilities while not having to write onerous written proposals. Evaluators get to ask questions to the vendors technical experts and key personal while also engaging in interactive dialogue to truly understand the proposed solution. Evaluators also save time in evaluations by not having to read lengthy written proposals
- Get information directly from vendor"s technical experts
- Allows Government and vendor to ask and answer questions
- Reduce the use of paper proposals where possible
- May reduce bid and proposal costs
- Streamlines the Government"s evaluation process and timeline
- SMALL BUSINESS BENEFIT: Allows small business teams to showcase their technical expertise, even engaging in a dialogue with Government evaluators, while avoiding the cost of having to submit a lengthy written technical proposal
It simplifies the approach for people who have not yet used oral presentations or would like more detailed guidance before trying them.
