Contract processing timelines can vary greatly depending on the procurement strategy chosen and based on other factors that typically results in delays. '''Typical delay factors are:''' Complexity of the requirement; completeness of the statement of work and evaluation criteria; approval process; security; translation; supplier questions; bid evaluation process; manufacturing and delivery lead times.
'''Contract Award Service Standards''' – The Contract Award Service Standards outline the time it takes CMS to award a contract from the time a completed Contract Request Form is received and assigned to an officer. There are factors outside of the Contract Management Section’s (CMS) control that impact CMS’s ability to meet the contract award service standards listed below. However, CMS will strive to meet its contract award service standards at least 90% of the time.
