An official website of the United States government
The .gov means it’s official.
Federal government websites always use a .gov or .mil domain. Before sharing sensitive information online, make sure you’re on a .gov or .mil site by inspecting your browser’s address (or “location”) bar.
This site is also protected by an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate that’s been signed by the U.S. government. The https:// means all transmitted data is encrypted — in other words, any information or browsing history that you provide is transmitted securely.

Communication with Offerors: FAR 15.3 vs. FAR 16.5
Acquisitions conducted under the authority of FAR 16.5 often resemble those conducted under FAR 15.3; however, there are big differences. Communications with offerors, and the terminology used to describe them, are very different under FAR 15.3 versus FAR 16.5. For more information on communicating with offerors when using GWACs, please visit the NITAAC website for other NITAAC videos, tools and templates. NITAAC.NIH.gov 1.888.773.6542 NITAACsupport@nih.gov
Comparative Analysis
Comparative Analysis is an approach that allows the evaluation team to directly compare responses against one another and recommend who is best suited for the award. Comparative analysis is just one of many streamlined methods you can use under Far part 16.5. Before using this, or any other streamlining technique, check your agency’s policies to ensure it is appropriate and approved.
