The requirements block is carried over from a different buy, so limits are either higher than the work needs or lower than it deserves.

With the agentMatched to this buy

Requirements proposed for this commodity and value band, each with the reason it was suggested, ready to be argued with.

How it works

Proposes insurance, bonding, licensing, certification and set-aside requirements appropriate to the commodity, value band and jurisdiction.

Over-specified requirements suppress competition. Under-specified ones create risk.

01

It starts from what you are buying

The commodity, the estimated value and the jurisdiction decide which requirements are even in scope.

02

It proposes a set, not a maximum

The aim is the requirement the work actually calls for, because limits set too high quietly remove bidders.

03

Each one carries its reason

Every proposed requirement records why it was suggested, so you can push back on the ones that do not fit.

04

The agency decides

Suggestions only. What goes in the solicitation is the agency decision, recorded against the person who made it.

Requirements Architect

Your policy requires one above the formal threshold, and this estimate is above it. On the two comparable buys in the record, both carried a 100% bond and each drew four or more bidders.

What it will not do

It suggests and explains. Setting, raising, lowering or waiving a requirement is the agency decision, and the record shows who made it.
