Federal Acquisition Regulation
Solicitation alternative line item proposal
FAR 4.1007
Solicitations should be structured to allow offerors to propose alternative line items (see Solicitation provision (FAR 4.1008) and 52.212-1 (e)). For example, when soliciting certain items using units of measure such as kit, set, or lot, the offeror may not be able to group and deliver all items in a single shipment.
