Notification of bundling of DoD contracts.

(a) When a proposed acquisition is funded entirely using DoD funds and potentially involves bundling, the contracting officer shall, at least 30 days prior to the release of a solicitation or 30 days prior to placing an order without a solicitation, publish in the Governmentwide point of entry ( https://www.sam.gov ) a notification of the intent to bundle the requirement. In addition, if the agency has determined that measurably substantial benefits are expected to be derived as a result of bundling, the notification shall include a brief description of those benefits ( see FAR 7.107). (b) This requirement is in addition to the notification requirements at FAR 10.001(c)(2)(i) and (ii). [75 FR 40716, July 13, 2010, as amended at 88 FR 88533, Dec. 22, 2023]
