The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.
In plain English
This DFARS provision applies when a solicitation gives offerors fewer than 30 days to submit proposals. If only one offer is received, the Contracting Officer may cancel the solicitation and resolicit with at least 30 additional days. Contractors should know that a short proposal window can lead to resolicitation if competition is limited.
