52.211-9 Desired and Required	Time of Delivery.       As prescribed	in 11.404(a)(3), insert	the following clause:          Desired and Required Time of Delivery	(June 1997)                                       (a) 						            The	Government desires delivery to be made according to the following	schedule:                Desired Delivery	Schedule[*Contracting	Officer insert specific details*]Item	No.                            Quantity                            Within	Days After Date of ContractIf the offeror is unable to	meet the desired delivery schedule, it may, without prejudicing	evaluation of its offer, propose a delivery schedule below. However,	the offeror’s proposed delivery schedule must not extend the delivery	period beyond the time for delivery in the Government’s required	delivery schedule as follows:                Required Delivery	Schedule[*Contracting	Officer insert specific details*]Item	No.                            Quantity                            Within	Days After Date of ContractOffers that propose delivery	of a quantity under such terms or conditions that delivery will	not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period	specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.	If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the desired	delivery schedule above will apply.                Offeror’s Proposed	Delivery Schedule[*Contracting	Officer insert specific details*]Item	No.                            Quantity                            Within	Days After Date of Contract(b) 						            Attention	is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation	that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed	or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror results in a binding	contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror	an award or notice of award not later than the day the award is	dated. Therefore, the offeror shall compute the time available for	performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than	the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting	Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will	evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor’s	date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1)	fivecalendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary	mails, or (2) oneworking day if the solicitation states that the	contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically.	(The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.)	If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the	required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive	and rejected.                                 (End of clause)          *Alternate I*                (Apr 1984).	If the delivery schedule is expressed in terms of specific calendar	dates or specific periods and is based on an assumed date of award,	the contracting officer may substitute the following paragraph (b)	for paragraph (b) of the basic clause. The time may be expressed	by substituting "on or before"; "during the months _______";	or "not sooner than ______, or later than ______"	as headings for the third column of paragraph (a) of the basic clause.             (b) The delivery dates or specific periods	above are based on the assumption that the Government will make	award by _________	[*Contracting Officer insert date*]. Each delivery date	in the delivery schedule above will be extended by the number of	calendar days after the above date that the contract is in fact	awarded. Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of	the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance	of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror	results in a binding contract. Therefore, the offeror shall compute	the time available for performance beginning with the actual date	of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received	from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails.                                       *Alternate	II*                (Apr 1984). If the delivery schedule is expressed in	terms of specific calendar dates or specific periods and is based	on an assumed date the contractor receives notice of award, the	contracting officer may substitute the following paragraph (b) for	paragraph (b) of the basic clause. The time may be expressed by	substituting "within days after the date of receipt of a written	notice of award" as the heading of the third column of paragraph	(a) of the basic clause.             (b) The delivery	dates or specific periods above are based on the assumption that	the successful offeror will receive notice of award by ___________	[*Contracting Officer insert date*]. Each delivery date	in the delivery schedule above will be extended by the number of	calendar days after the above date that the Contractor receives	notice of award; provided, that the Contractor promptly acknowledges	receipt of notice of award.                                       *Alternate III*                (Apr 1984).	If the delivery schedule is to be based on the actual date the contractor	receives a written notice of award, the contracting officer may	delete paragraph (b) of the basic clause. The time may be expressed	by substituting "within days after the date of receipt of a written	notice of award" as the heading of the third column of paragraph	(a) of the basic clause.    **Parent topic:** 52.211 [Reserved]
