Rule 33:
Fair application of time

Explains the time period set by an agency must apply to all interested domestic and international suppliers.

  1. The time period an agency sets for submitting responses must apply to all interested domestic and international suppliers.
  2. Other than in exceptional circumstances, no supplier can be given more or less time than any other supplier.
  3. An agency may, in its Notice of Procurement, reserve the right to accept a late response in exceptional circumstances if there is no material prejudice to any other interested supplier. An agency must not accept a late response if:
    1. there is any risk of collusion on the part of the supplier
    2. the supplier may have knowledge of the content of any other response
    3. it would be unfair to any other supplier to accept the late response because the late supplier is given additional time to prepare its response.
