Contracting officers must request technical analyses of the proposals from the appropriate technical personnel. The technical analyses must address, as a minimum, the items set forth in FAR 15.404-1(e)(2).
(c) The contracting officer must document the results of such analyses in the contract file and make the results available to the auditor performing the pre-award audit.
