QSO 349 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In Module Three, you will continue your case study analysis for the final project. You will submit a procurement regulations and source selection document. This milestone addresses the critical elements in Section III and Section IV of the final project. 

First, you will discuss the impact of government regulations on procurement, the regulatory differences for procurements between the United States and another country, and potential regulatory effects for your selected procurement scenario. Second, you will analyze and choose a set of parameters that you feel are useful for evaluating vendor proposals. You will develop a vendor evaluation tool and assess its usefulness for proposal evaluation and selection in your scenario. 

The relevant critical elements of the final project, Sections III and IV, are repeated below.

Prompt

Specifically, address the following criteria in your analysis:

1. Procurement Regulations in the United States and Abroad
   1. Discuss procurement regulations required by local, regional, and federal governments regarding specific types of procurements executed in the United States.
   2. Discuss procurement regulations required by local, regional, and federal governments regarding specific types of procurements executed internationally.
   3. Summarize the differences between the domestic and international procurement regulations discussed above.
   4. Determine which procurement regulations would apply to the procurement plan in the case study and explain your reasoning. Will you be required to follow domestic regulations, international regulations, or both? Why?
2. Source Selection
   1. Describe common source selection criteria used to evaluate vendor proposals.
   2. Select an appropriate vendor evaluation tool suitable for identifying vendors for the procurement plan in the case study. You should select a tool that uses appropriate selection criteria and is capable of producing a summary evaluation score.
   3. Assess the vendor evaluation tool produced for its effectiveness in satisfying the project requirements and providing maximum value to the buyer in the case study.

What to Submit

The procurement regulations and source selection document should be 2 to 4 pages in length and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
