(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the
Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.
(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is
“late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting
Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However,
a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the
Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.
(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers
cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time
specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the
solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of
offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the
first work day on which normal Government processes resume.
(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time
before award.
(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and
award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain
the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary.
The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the
lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose
the following information, if applicable:
(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s
offer.

debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

and other applicable authorities.
