(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.

Award will be made to the offeror that presents the quote that possesses all of the following characteristics: (1) meets the acceptability standards, (2) conforms to the solicitation, (3) determined acceptable to the Government, (4) is from a responsible (as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 9) offeror, and (5) has the lowest price of those offerors meeting the first four characteristics listed here.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

(2) Unacceptable - A proposal that contains a major error(s), omission(s) or deficiency(ies) that indicates a lack of understanding of the problems or an approach that cannot be expected to meet requirements or involves a very high risk and none of these conditions can be corrected without a major rewrite or revision of the proposal.
