The Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the proposal as submitted. The Government may request additional information from offerors of proposals that it considers to be reasonably susceptible of being made acceptable, and may discuss proposals with their offerors. Vendors will be bound by their technical proposals. Vendors with proposals determined to be unacceptable will be notified of a final determination of unacceptability.
