The full test of the provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at https://www.acquisition.gov/far/ The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The term "offer" in 52.212-1 is replaced with "quote". The following addendum to 52.212-1 also applies: 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference 52.252-5 Authorized Deviations in Provisions; 52.204-16 Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting In addition, the following additional clauses also apply as an addendum to 52.212-1: ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 WBR 1452.211-80 Notice of Intent to Acquire Metric Products and Services -- Bureau of Reclamation - (Mar 1993) (a) Metric Transition Plan. The Department of the Interior on December 6, 1991, issued a Metric Transition Program (Part 758 Department Manual Chapter 1) to establish and describe the program's policies and responsibilities. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), has developed a Metric Transition Plan to implement metrication in Reclamation. This plan describes Reclamation's overall strategy for using the metric system, defines general requirements and procedures for carrying out the transition, and details the tasks with milestones for Reclamation offices to complete. (b) The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Trade Act). (1) Section 5164 of Public Law 100-418, the Trade Act, amended the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and designated the metric system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce. (2) The Trade Act establishes September 30, 1992, as the implementation date (to the extent economically feasible) for Federal agencies to use the metric system of measurement in its procurements, grants, and other business-related activities. (3) The Trade Act permits exceptions to the use of the metric system to the extent that such use is impractical or is likely to cause significant inefficiencies or loss of markets to United States firms, such as when foreign competitors are producing competing products in non-metric units. (4) As a result of the Trade Act, the President issued Executive Order 12770 dated July 25, 1991, to implement the congressional designation of the metric system as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce. (c) Bureau of Reclamation Implementation. As a result of the Trade Act, Reclamation will, to the maximum extent practicable, use hard conversion and soft conversion metric systems in designing its construction projects, eventually phasing out use of the soft conversion metric system. Exceptions to this policy will only be made when such use is impractical, produces inefficiencies or market losses, or is not economically feasible. (d) Expected Results. Reclamation expects its support of the metric system to result in increased use of the metric system by U.S. contractors, thereby increasing their ability to compete in the international marketplace. Increasing use of the metric system by U.S. contractors will eliminate possible restrictions on their bidding in the international marketplace and will eliminate any impact of economic blocks by metric countries restricting the acceptance of non-metric products. (End provision) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1 1452.215-71 Use and Disclosure of Proposal Information--Department of the Interior - (Apr 1984) (a) Definitions.

However, failure of an offeror to mark information contained in a proposal as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the offeror had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the offeror's proposal due to clerical error.
