570.402-5 Potential acceptable locations.
If the contracting officer identifies potential acceptable locations through the advertisement or market survey, conduct a cost-benefit analysis following the procedures 570.402-6. Based on the results of the cost-benefit analysis, take appropriate action as follows:
-
(a) If the cost-benefit analysis indicates that the Government will recover relocation costs and duplication of costs through competition, develop an SFO and negotiate with all interested parties following 570.3.
-
(b) If the cost-benefit analysis indicates that the Government cannot expect to recover relocation costs and duplication of costs through competition, prepare a justification for approval in accordance with FAR6.3 and 506.3. Explain both:
-
(1) How the contracting officer performed the cost-benefit analysis.
-
(2) That the cost-benefit analysis indicates that award to any other offeror will likely result in substantial costs to the Government that the Government cannot expect to recover through competition.
