For the Maryland Procurement Office customer: What are they and where can I find a copy?

My understanding is that NSA is a component of DOD; therefore, wouldn't NSA just use the DOD weighted guidelines form?

Below is from DFARS.  That should get one started.

215.404-70 DD Form 1547, Record of Weighted Guidelines Method Application.

Joel found the form from here.

You would think so.  However, in my experience, they seem to have their own secret procurement regulations.  I constantly see MPO contracts with clauses that are not part of the FAR or DFARS and are not in 48 CFR.

Yes, that's correct. But I don't have access to any "reserved" procurement regulations so, to answer the question, I made an assumption.

This is funny.  Read the entire page.

I found this article also.

Also, see, https://www.nsa.gov/business/getting-started/.  Note the statement about open procurements and non-publication in FBO although not all MPO contracts are classified.
