A past performance determination of ‘unsatisfactory’ will exclude the offer from consideration for award.

(d) A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the quote, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the
