PartIII-Documents, exhibits, and other attachments
Contracting officers must clearly list all attachments in Section J of the IFB, including title, date, and page count, to ensure transparency and proper documentation.
Overview
FAR 14.201-4 requires contracting officers to include a detailed list of all documents, exhibits, and other attachments in Section J of the invitation for bids (IFB). This list must specify the title, date, and number of pages for each attachment. The purpose is to ensure clarity and transparency for bidders regarding all materials that are part of the solicitation package, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes about what documents are incorporated by reference or included in the contract.
