What does the term "Equitable Adjustment" mean to you? -
ANSWER-The definition from the Government Contract Law
textbook states: "The concept of "equitable adjustment" is one of
the larger unresolved issues in Government contracting. Although
the phrase appears expressly or implicitly in the "adjustment
clauses" e.g., the determination of what constitutes an equitable
adjustment has not been objectively quantified by the regulation.
The term "equitable adjustment" is construed as a "fair",

mentioned above, in Government contracts this involves a
determination as to an adjustment of the contract price, the period
of performance, or both."

performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing
commercial and governmental business commitments;
3) Have a satisfactory performance record;

equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them;
7) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under
applicable laws and regulations.
In other words, capable of performing the work as required.
To be considered responsive, a contractor's bid must comply in all
material respects with the invitation for bids. Such compliance
enables bidders to stand on equal footing and maintain the
integrity of the sealed bidding system.
Bids should be filled out, executed, and submitted in accordance
with the instructions in the invitation (timeliness is a factor). Any
bid that does not conform to the requirements, specifications, or
delivery schedule will be rejected.
