    (c) Clauses. Include the clauses required by this regulation. 
Additional clauses shall be incorporated only when considered absolutely 
necessary to the particular acquisition.

instructions necessary to guide offerors.

any significant subfactors for award.
    (4) Upon award, the contracting officer need not physically include 
the provisions in subparagraphs (e)(1), (2), and (3) of this subsection 
in the resulting contract, but shall retain them in the contract file. 
Award by acceptance of a bid on the award portion of SF 1447
