Paragraph (e) entitled “Multiple Offers” is tailored to read: “The government will not consider multiple offers presenting alternate terms and conditions for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.”

Paragraph (g) entitled “ Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids).” Is tailored to read: “ The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors.

If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest;
