Two-phase design-build selection procedures threshold references include which documents?

• A. FAR 3.103-2(b)(2)
• B. FAR 36.303-1(a)(4), UAI 5136.303-1(a)(4)
• C. FAR 9.506(b)
• D. FAR 52.232-18

Answer: (B)

Two-phase design-build threshold references are set by the FAR clause that authorizes and governs the use of two-phase design-build, together with the agency’s own supplement that mirrors and adds specifics. The proper pairing uses FAR 36.303-1(a)(4) and the USACE-specific supplement, UAI 5136.303-1(a)(4). This combination is the authoritative source for when and how two-phase design-build may be used and what documents must be cited at the threshold. The other options don’t address the threshold for two-phase design-build. They reference provisions that cover different topics (such as unrelated postaward procedures, general source-selection details not specific to two-phase thresholds, or funding availability), so they do not provide the correct threshold references for this procurement method.
