LEGAL EFFECT OF QUOTATIONS (FAR 13.004) A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offers. The supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered, by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. When appropriated the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order in writing.
