  (1) Addenda to the Request for Proposals may be made for the purpose of:

  (a) making changes to:

  (i) the scope of work;

  (ii) the schedule;

  (iii) the qualification requirements;

  (iv) the criteria;

  (v) the weighting; or

  (vi) other requirements of the Request for Proposal.

  (b) Addenda shall be published within a reasonable time prior to the deadline that proposals are due, to allow prospective offerors to consider the addenda in preparing proposals. Publication at least 5 calendar days prior to the deadline that proposals are due shall be deemed a reasonable time. Minor addenda and urgent circumstances may require a shorter period of time.

  (2) After the due date and time for submitting a response to Request for Proposals, at the discretion of the Director, addenda to the Request for Proposals may be limited to offerors that have submitted proposals, provided the addenda does not make a substantial change to the Request for Proposals that, in the opinion of the Director likely would have impacted the number of Offerors responding to the original publication of the Request for Proposals.
