Things to watch

From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.

Minor: Only-one-offer clause. The clause list includes a deviation clause on what happens when only one offer is received; the text does not give its terms.
Minor: Limitation of liability for high-value items. A clause limiting the contractor's liability for high-value items is listed; the text does not say how it applies.
Minor: Buy American rules apply. The Buy American-Free Trade Agreements clause is listed, so the origin of the item matters to the offer.
