The offeror shall also provide a list of business references (including the name of a contact and telephone numbers) in order for the Contracting Officer to make a responsibility determination in accordance with subpart 9.1 of the FAR. References shall include a list of other Government contract numbers, if available. Incomplete material that does not clearly demonstrate full compliance with the evaluation factors may result in an offer being determined unacceptable and being removed from consideration for contract award. 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. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. //// Each offeror shall include a completed copy of the FAR provision at 52.212-3, OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAR 1996) with its proposal. //// The FAR clause at 52.212-4, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 1995) applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference. //// The FAR clause at 52.212-5, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTIVE ORDER -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1996) applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference, however, for paragraph (b) under this clause, only the following additional FAR clauses apply to this acquisition and are incorporated by reference to implement provisions of law or executive orders applicable to acquisitions of commercial items or components: 52.203-6, RESTRICTIONS ON SUBCONTRACTOR SALES TO THE GOVERNMENT, WITH ALT I (41 U.S.C. 253g AND 10 U.S.C. 2402) (OCT 1995), 52.203-10, PRICE OR FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR ILLEGAL OR IMPROPER ACTIVITY (41 U.S.C. 423) (SEP 1990), 52.219-8, UTILIZATION OF SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNS AND SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS CONCERNS (15 U.S.C. 637 (d) (4)) (OCT 1995), 52.222-26, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY (E.O. 11246) (APR 1984), 52.222-35, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR SPECIAL DISABLED AND VIETNAM ERA VETERANS (38 U.S.C. 4212) (APR 1984), 52.222-37, EMPLOYMENT REPORTS ON SPECIAL DISABLED VETERANS AND VETERANS OF THE VIETNAM ERA (38 U.S.C. 4212) (JAN 1988). //// Additionally, each offeror shall include a completed copy of the Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) provision at 252.212-7000, OFFERORS REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (NOV 1995). //// The DFARS clause at 252.212-7001, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTIVE ORDERS APPLICABLE TO DEFENSE ACQUISITIONS OF COMMERCIAL ITEMS (NOV 1995) applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference, however, for paragraph (b) under this clause, only the following additional DFARS clauses apply to this acquisition and are incorporated by reference to implement provisions of law or Executive Orders applicable to acquisitions of commercial items or components: 252.205-7000, PROVISION OF INFORMATION TO COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT HOLDERS (10 U.S.C. 2416) (DEC 1991), 252.225- 7001, BUY AMERICAN ACT AND BALANCE OF PAYMENT PROGRAM (41 U.S.C 10, E.O. 10582) (JAN 1994), 252.225-7007, TRADE AGREEMENTS ACT (10 U.S.C. 2501-2582) (JAN 1996), PREFERENCE FOR CERTAIN DOMESTIC COMMODITIES (NOV 1995), PREFERENCE FOR DOMESTIC SPECIALTY METALS (10 U.S.C. 2241 note) (NOV 1995), 252.225-7015, PREFERENCE FOR DOMESTIC HAND OR MEASURING TOOLS (10 U.S.C. 2241 note) (DEC 1991), 252.233-7000, CERTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR ADJUSTMENT OR RELIEF (10 U.S.C. 2410) (MAY 1994), 252.247-7024, NOTIFICATION OF TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES BY SEA (10 U.S.C. 2631) (NOV 1995). //// Additionally, the DFARS provision at 252.225-7006, BUY AMERICAN ACT -- TRADE AGREEMENTS -- BALANCE OF PAYMENTS PROGRAM CERTIFICATE (JAN 1994) applies to this acquisition and is incorporated by reference. //// WARRANTY: The contractor shall extend to the Government full coverage of any standard commercial warranty normally offered in a similar commercial sale for ALL CLINs.
