FAR 16.505 needs an order-specific competition record

FAR 16.505 establishes ordering requirements for indefinite-delivery contracts and fair-opportunity procedures for multiple-award contracts. An ordering team needs a record of the eligible holder population, notice, evaluation basis, responses, exception authority and final decision for the particular order.

Build the proposal record beyond the FedConnect submission receipt

FedConnect presents an electronic interface for notices, opportunities, awards, vendor communications, and responses from participating agencies. A submission receipt can anchor the transmission timeline; the contractor still needs a file-level record tied to the controlling notice, amendments, instructions, and authorized final proposal.
