Attendance to preaward or a postaward debriefing is always mandatory.

  1. True
  2. True for projects over $1m total
  3. True for projects over $0.5m total
  4. False

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Offerors excluded from the competitive range or otherwise excluded from the competition before award may request a debriefing before award by submitting a written request for debriefing to the contracting officer within 3 days after receipt of the notice of exclusion from the competition. However, if the offeror does not submit a timely request, the offeror need not be given either a preaward or a postaward debriefing. In any case offerors are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. Debriefings may be done orally, in writing, or by any other method acceptable to the contracting officer.

  3. the bid envelope is damaged.
  4. None of the choices.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Original bids would never be allowed to pass out of the hands of a government official unless a duplicate bid is not available for public inspection.

A bid opening may NEVER be postponed before or after the time scheduled for bid opening.

  1. True
  2. True only when the bid envelopes are fully sealed
  3. False

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A bid opening may be postponed even after the time scheduled for bid opening when the contracting officer has reason to believe that the bids of an important segment of bidders have been delayed; or there are Emergency or unanticipated events that would interrupt the normal governmental processes in such a way that the conduct of bid opening as scheduled would become impractical.



After bids have been opened, award must be made:

  1. to that responding bidder who submitted the lowest responsive bid
  2. to that responsible bidder who submitted the lowest responsive bid
  3. to that responsible bidder who submitted the highest responsive bid
  4. None of the choices.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

After bids have been opened, award must be made to that responsible bidder who submitted the lowest responsive bid, unless there is a compelling reason to reject all bids and cancel the invitation. As a general rule, after the opening of bids, an invitation should not be cancelled and resolicited due solely to increased requirements for the items being acquired.
