Unsolicited proposals
Unsolicited proposals represent a means for CDC to obtain innovative and unique methods or approaches for accomplishing the agency's mission. Please see Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 15.6 for additional information regarding unsolicited proposals. Unsolicited proposals should be submitted for review and consideration to: OFRPolicy@cdc.gov
Details covering policy, procedures, and content of unsolicited proposals are contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 15.6. A positive evaluation of an unsolicited proposal does not necessarily mean that the CDC will negotiate a noncompetitive procurement with you. If the services or products offered are available elsewhere, CDC is still required to seek competition.
If your unsolicited proposal submission does not result in a contract award, please continue to check SAM.gov for other contracting opportunities.
