(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(e) 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.

An offeror must be determined to be responsible by the Contracting Officer in order to be eligible for award. Responsibility is described in RFO Subpart 9.1, “Responsible Prospective Contractors.” Part of the determination addresses financial capability. Please provide the names, addresses and points of contact for all financial institution organizations utilized to determine if contractor has adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them to include written authority to contact the provided financial institution.

Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

3. If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, [Insert names, addresses, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and email addresses of Center/MAJCOM/FLDCOM/DRU/DAFRCO ombudsman/ombudsmen].
