Addendum to 52.212-1

The following paragraphs are hereby amended:

Paragraph 52.212-1(c), Period for acceptance of quotes is hereby replaced with the following: "Period for acceptance of quotes. The quoter agrees to hold the prices in its quote firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotes, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation."

Paragraph 52.212-1(e), Multiple offers is hereby replaced with the following: "Multiple quotes does not apply to this acquisition."

Paragraph 52.212-1(g), the following paragraph is added to the end of the current paragraph as follows: "After evaluating quotes, if discussions are deemed necessary, the contracting officer may determine that the number of most highly rated quotes that might otherwise be included in the evaluation process exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. In this event, the contracting officer may limit the number of quotes in the evaluation process to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated quotes."

The following paragraphs are hereby added:

Paragraph 52.212-1(h)(iii) The Government intends to issue a single purchase order and reserve the right for partial award. Quotes for less than all of the line items listed on the RFQ, quoters shall provide explanation.

If a quoter fails to submit a plan, or submits an inadequate plan, the quoter may not be considered.
