Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). – No options are required.
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
