1. Objective.

In an effort to ensure timely awards of sole source contract actions and the definitization of Undefinitized Contract Actions (UCAs) within 180-days after issuance of the UCA, it is imperative that we work effectively with our industry counterparts to receive quality documentation and data in a timely manner. Throughout the award/definitization process, it is vital that the lines of communication remain open and that established due dates are well-known and met. Documentation supporting a contractor's proposal should be readily available and provided upon request. However, there may be circumstances where the requested data is not immediately available and reasonable timeframes should be established to provide such documentation.
