(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

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

The Offeror shall propose prices for each 12-month pricing period. Offerors are requested to include discounts/price reductions and indicate the discounts they are providing to the Government.

Although the base BPA has a continuous 60-month ordering period, the CLINs in the Pricing Sheet shall be priced in 12-month pricing periods because of the limit of a 12-month period of performance (without the exercise of an option period) on severable call orders.
