The completion and submission of the above items will constitute the offer. The offer must communicate the unconditional assent to the terms and conditions in this Solicitation, including any attachments and documents incorporated by reference. Acceptance of the offer will create a binding contract between the parties. The failure or refusal to assent to any of the terms and conditions of this Solicitation or the imposition of additional conditions or any material omission by the Offeror may constitute a deficiency which will render the offer unacceptable.

3.2.2 SECTION 2: EXCEPTIONS TO THE RFP

If the Offeror takes any exceptions to the Solicitation, those exceptions shall be provided in the cover letter of the Contract Volume (Section 1). The Offeror shall provide a full explanation for all exceptions taken to the Solicitation.

The Government intends to award the ADNS MAC without discussions as permitted by FAR 15.306(a) and 52.215-
