Competitive Acquisitions. A Contractor that is included in the competition for award of a task order may choose not to submit a capability statement or a proposal. In the event that the

Government, in conducting the task order evaluation, may use data provided by the Contractor in its proposal as well as data obtained from other sources, including previously awarded task orders.

If fewer hours are required, only the hours actually used shall be invoiced.
