Source selection shall start immediately after the solicitation closing date and award shall not be held off to qualify new sources. The contract is scheduled for award within 60 days after the solicitation closing date.

The Contracting Officer may reject all proposals received in response to a solicitation, if doing so is in the best interest of the Government.
