  1,, Bidders may elect not to charge the
      Government for certain sorvices, and
      when they have indicated that they are
      aware of and willing to commit them-
      selves to furnishing the item in
      question--as by inserting a zero, no
      charge, or dashes--the bid Is respon-
      sive and the bidder may be considertd
      for award.

  2,  In requirements contract, when exact
      quantities of items to be procured are
      not known, tho solicitation must provide

      mated quantities, and when future needs
      cannot be estimated, past orders may be
      listed instead.

      tract is defective due to failure to

      low bid may be accepted.

      charge $0 for original copies and is low
      regardless of number of additiona)
      copies ordered by the Gov rnment, GAO
