DOT Vendor Communication Plan

Please see the PDF above for the full “DOT Vendor Communication Plan.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) spends over $6 billion annually on contracts for goods and services. Access to current market information is critical for agency program managers as they define requirements. Current market information access is also important for contracting officers as they develop acquisition strategies, seek opportunities for small business, and negotiate contract terms. Industry partners are often the best source of this information. Productive interactions between the Federal government and industry partners are encouraged so that the government clearly understands the marketplace and can award best value contracts. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) authorizes a broad range of opportunities for vendor communications and the Department will take full advantage of these flexibilities.

DOT is committed to ensuring that information is available in appropriate alternative formats to meet the requirements of persons who have a disability. If you require an alternative version of files provided on this page, please contact DOTAcquisitionPolicy@dot.gov.
