CMS Records Are Showing: • Information that may not accurately describe the solicitation/selection method used; • Inconsistencies in the solicitation/selection method chosen; • Use of “OTHER” with no additional explanation; • Use of “OTHER” when another option more accurately describes the solicitation/selection; • Records identified as Sole Sources that may not be a Sole Source.
Solicitation Fields in CMS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. • Six fields describe the type of solicitation/selection method used for the Good and/or Service obtained. • If OTHER is selected the following text field MUST be completed. • N/A is entered by the system as default. This response should be the exception, not the rule
