(b) Any bid that does not conform to the applicable specifications shall be rejected unless the invitation authorized the submission of alternate bids and the supplies offered as alternates meet the requirements specified in the invitation. (c) Any bid that fails to conform to the delivery schedule or permissible alternates stated in the invitation shall be rejected. (d) A bid shall be rejected when the bidder imposes conditions that would modify requirements of the invitation or limit the bidders liability to the Government, since to allow the bidder to impose such conditions would be prejudicial to other bidders. For example, bids shall be rejected in which the bidder (1) Protects against future changes in conditions, such as increased costs, if total possible costs to the Government cannot be determined; (2) Fails to state a price and indicates that price shall be price in effect at time of delivery; (3) States a price but qualifies it as being subject to price in effect at time of delivery; (4) When not authorized by the invitation, conditions or qualifies a bid by stipulating that it is to be considered only if, before date of award, the bidder receives (or does not receive) award under a separate solicitation; (5) Requires that the Government is to determine that the bidders product meets applicable Government specifications; or (6) Limits rights of the Government under any contract clause.

(f) Any bid may be rejected if the contracting officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only the total price of the bid, but the prices for individual line items as well. (g) Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or subline items are materially unbalanced (see 15.404-1(g)). (h) Bids received from any person or concern that is suspended, debarred, proposed for debarment or declared ineligible as of the bid opening date shall be rejected unless a compelling reason determination is made (see Subpart 9.4). (i) Low bids received from concerns determined to be not responsible pursuant to subpart 9.1 shall be rejected (but if a bidder is a small business concern, see 19.6 with respect to certificates of competency). In no event shall any understanding, agreement, contract modification, change order, or other matter made between the Contractor and a person other than the Contracting Officer in deviation from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to make or approve any changes in any of the requirements of this contract and, notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer. In the event that the Contractor makes any changes at the discretion of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in the costs incurred as a result thereof. 52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT TYPE OF CONTRACT (APR 1984) The Government Contemplates award of a Fixed Price Purchase Order resulting from this solicitation. (End of clause) To be considered for award, all sellers must be manufacturer authorized distributors of the equipment/services they are offering.
