              (This book contains chapter 1, parts 1 to 51)

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
PART 32_CONTRACT FINANCING--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart 32.2_Commercial Item Purchase Financing
 
Sec. 32.204  Procedures for contracting officer-specified commercial contract 
financing.

    The financing terms shall be included in the solicitation. Contract 
financing shall not be a factor in the evaluation of resulting 
proposals, and proposals of alternative financing terms shall not be 
accepted (but see 14.208 and 15.206 concerning amendments of 
solicitations). However, an offer stating that the contracting officer-
specified contract financing terms will not be used by the offeror does 
not alter the evaluation of the offer, nor does it render the offer 
nonresponsive or otherwise unacceptable. In the event of award to an 
offeror who declined the proposed contract financing, the contract 
financing provisions shall not be included in the resulting contract. 
Contract financing shall not be a basis for adjusting offerors' proposed 
prices, because the effect of contract financing is reflected in each 
offeror's proposed prices.
