QUANTITY CHANGES PRIOR TO AWARD Clause Samples
The 'Quantity Changes Prior to Award' clause allows the contracting party to adjust the quantities of goods or services specified in a solicitation before the contract is formally awarded. In practice, this means that the buyer can increase or decrease the number of units requested based on updated requirements or budget considerations, and bidders must be prepared for such changes when submitting their offers. This clause ensures flexibility for the buyer to respond to changing needs or constraints before finalizing the contract, thereby preventing the need for renegotiation or re-solicitation after award.
QUANTITY CHANGES PRIOR TO AWARD. The Commissioner reserves the right, at any time prior to the award of a specific quantity Contract, to alter in good faith the quantities listed in the Bid Specifications. In the event such right is exercised, the lowest responsible Bidder meeting Bid Specifications will be advised of the revised quantities and afforded an opportunity to extend or reduce its Bid price in relation to the changed quantities. Refusal by the low Bidder to so extend or reduce its Bid price may result in the rejection of its Bid and the award of such Contract to the lowest responsible Bidder who accepts the revised qualifications.

DEBRIEFINGS Pursuant to Section 163(9)(c) of the State Finance Law, any unsuccessful Bidder may request a debriefing regarding the reasons that the Bid submitted by the Bidder was not selected for award. Requests for a debriefing must be made within 15 calendar days of notification by OGS that the Bid submitted by the Bidder was not selected for award. Requests should be submitted in writing to a designated contact identified in the Solicitation.
