Books and Pamphlets Page 13 of 20

SECTION 3. - DETERMINATION OF AWARD AND PLACEMENT OF WORK

The Government will make multiple awards under this solicitation since it is anticipated that one firm may not be able to meet all of the requirements.

Each order will be individually abstracted to determine the lowest bid.

In placing work, the Government will first communicate with the low contractor to determine whether or not at that time one or more orders for specified quantities can be accepted for shipment within the time required by the Government. The Government will be obligated to place each order with the low contractor first, the next low contractor second, and so on until the order has been accepted. Placement of orders shall be made only to those contractors whose prices are determined to be fair and reasonable.

The low contractor and each successive next low contractor shall be obligated to accept the order except when the shipping schedule cannot be met. Contractors refusing to accept orders with the requested ship date shall be required to provide the best date that can be met. When the contractor accepts, a formal print order will be issued.

Due to the urgency of the work, orders will be placed by telephone and the contractor must reply within 30 minutes whether or not the order can be accepted.

Any contractor's position in the sequence of awards may be jeopardized by consistently refusing work of one type and accepting work of another. When such an instance is found, the contractor involved will be notified and unless prompt adjustment in order acceptance is made to maintain the lowest cost to the Government, the contractor may be disqualified from further participation under this contract.

Exception: Noncompliance with the shipping and/or delivery schedule, or any other term, condition, or specification of this contract will be cause, and the GPO reserves the right, to withhold further orders until the contractor is judged by the Government to have established adequate procedures to fulfill the requirements.
