Which FAR part is concerned with sealed bidding?

The correct answer is B, as FAR Part 14 specifically addresses the sealed bidding process in government procurements. Sealed bidding is a method of procurement used when the conditions allow for the receipt of sealed bids and is based primarily on price. The regulations outlined in this part provide the framework for the submission, evaluation, and award of contracts through sealed bids, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and competition.

FAR Part 11, meanwhile, focuses on the solicitation and contract format, guiding how agencies should write their solicitations in a standardized manner. FAR Part 15 deals with contracting by negotiation, which differs significantly from sealed bidding as it allows for discussion and revisions in proposals. FAR Part 18 addresses emergency procurement and does not pertain directly to sealed bidding processes. Therefore, these parts do not govern the sealed bidding process in the same way that FAR Part 14 does.
