QUANTITY DATE SPECIFIED (b) Attention is directad to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or othorwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract.

The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is' dated.

Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contrccting Officer through the ordinary mails.

However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding five days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails.

If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
