5.1.8  Solicit Feedback Early

Section M will be reviewed as a part of the coordination of the source selection plan (it is included as an attachment) and as a part of your overall solicitation review, and for applicable programs, as part of the Multi-functional Independent Review Team (MIRT) (see AFFARS 5301.90XX).  Do not wait until the formal review to get feedback on your Section M.  Solicit inputs as early as possible from staff experts and program office personnel.  Take the first draft and disseminate it widely within the program office.  Ask the ACE/Source Selection Officer/Contract Policy/Clearance office and your legal and technical specialists to review it.
