(a) The Contracting Officer shall insert a provision substantially the same as the provision at 2452.215-70, Proposal Content, in all solicitations for negotiated procurements using the tradeoff selection process expected to exceed the simplified acquisition limit. The Contracting officer shall adapt paragraph (c) of the provision (i.e., include, delete or further supplement subparagraphs) to address the particular requirements of the immediate solicitation. The provision may be used in simplified acquisitions when it is necessary to obtain technical and management information in making the award selection. When award selection will be made through the lowest-priced technically acceptable proposal method, the provision shall be used with its Alternate I. If the proposed contract requires work on, or access to, sensitive automated systems or applications (see the clause at 2452.239-70), the provision shall be used with its Alternate II.
