# 14.207 14.207 Pre-bid conference.
A pre-bid conference may be used, generally in a complex acquisition, as a means of briefing prospective bidders and explaining complicated specifications and requirements to them as early as possible after the invitation has been issued and before the bids are opened. It shall never be used as a substitute for amending a defective or ambiguous invitation. The conference shall be conducted in accordance with the procedure prescribed in 15.201.
[48 FR 42171, Sept. 19, 1983, as amended at 62 FR 51270, Sept. 30, 1997]
