3.1.2.  MIRT Work Product.

The MIRT review process will be more useful to the particular acquisition team and to the broader Air Force acquisition community if it is characterized by transparency and openness. The MIRT should generate its work product, to include any memoranda, reports, recommendations or other documentation provided to the CAA or a source selection/procurement team, understanding this objective. To this end, as a general rule, although attorneys likely will participate in preparing any written work product, this work product should not be characterized or couched as legal advice and, therefore, should not be marked or construed as being protected from release to outside sources by the attorney-client privilege.

At a minimum, the MIRT will convene an out brief with the source selection/procurement team at the conclusion of each CDP conducted. If requested by the source selection/procurement team, written documentation will be provided to the team and handled IAW FAR 2.101 and 3.104. Documentation of MIRT review(s) is required for the official contract file IAW paragraph 4. It is desirable for the MIRT to provide on-the-spot feedback to the source selection/procurement team to generate discussions in order to understand the rationale for comments or actions to be taken. The MIRT will provide an assessment to the CAA on the state of the source selection/procurement. All comments, will be dispositioned or adjudicated by the CAA, including any unresolved comments made by an ACE. The CAA may provide feedback to the SSA or the CAA may request that the source selection team provide the feedback.
