BUILDING STRONG ®
Purpose<br />
<strong>DoD</strong> Source Selection Procedures<br />
► Standardize source selection rating process across <strong>DoD</strong><br />

► Strengthen documentation requirements for source selection decisions<br />
► Strive to increase communication with industry<br />
Mandatory use for all competitive best value acquisitions under FAR Part 15<br />
► Architect-engineer service contracts IAW FAR 36 are exempt<br />
Replaces <strong>Army</strong> Source Selection Manual (ASSM)<br />
Noted differences from ASSM<br />
► Does not contain templates<br />
► Mandates draft solicitations when value is greater than $100M<br />
► Risk can either be inherent in the Technical factor or subfactors or evaluated as a separate risk<br />
rating assigned at the Technical factor or subfactor level<br />
► No longer a “Susceptible to being Made Acceptable” rating<br />
► Source Selection Advisory Council (SSAC) must conduct comparative analysis and prepare<br />
written recommendation to SSA when value is greater than $100M<br />
► No requirement to keep <strong>of</strong>ferors anonymous from SSA<br />
