DFARS 205.205-70 Notification of bundling of DoD contracts.

In plain English

This section requires the contracting officer to publish a notice on the Governmentwide point of entry at least 30 days before releasing a solicitation or placing an order without a solicitation when a proposed acquisition uses only DoD funds and potentially involves bundling. If the agency has determined that measurably substantial benefits are expected from bundling, the notice must also briefly describe those benefits. This matters to contractors because it gives advance public notice of a potential bundled DoD requirement.

Applies to: Proposed DoD-funded acquisitions that potentially involve bundling
