Agencies shall establish procedures for:

• A. Releasing all unsolicited proposals to the public
• B. Providing funding for unsolicited proposals
• C. Controlling the receipt, evaluation and timely disposition of unsolicited proposals consistent with the requirements of this subpart
• D. Automatically awarding contracts to the proposer

Answer: (C)

The core idea is that agencies must set up a formal process to handle unsolicited proposals: how they are received, evaluated, and disposed of in a timely, consistent manner under this subpart. This structure ensures proposals are managed fairly and efficiently, protects confidential information, and avoids bias or delays in decision making. The other options miss the point: releasing unsolicited proposals to the public can compromise sensitive data; funding unsolicited proposals is not mandated by this subpart; and automatic contract awards undermine the competitive and evaluative process that governs acquisitions.
