b. The features, which must be addressed in the descriptive literature, are necessary to consider the bid responsive. If the bidder’s preprinted literature does not show all these features, the bidder must attach a letter of supplemental information to the literature describing in detail those required features.

c. The failure of descriptive literature to show that the product offered conforms to the requirements of this solicitation will require rejection of the bid.

d. Descriptive literature furnished under this solicitation that contains statements similar to ‘specifications are subject to change without notice’, ‘bid is subject to the following conditions’, or ‘prices are subject to change without notice’ shall not be considered for an award. The government has no assurance the products offered will conform to the specification; therefore, the bid is not considered a firm bid and will not be considered for an award.

e. Bidders who furnish a product catalog to satisfy this requirement must indicate which item is the subject of the bid by citing (highlighting, marking, etc.) model numbers and page numbers from the catalog in Section B of the solicitation along with the bid price. Bids that fail to clearly establish what item or items are bid will be considered as non-responsive.
