prospective proposers may not call the CO or Purchasing Agent-it simply means
that, other than making replies to direct the prospective proposer where his/her
answer has already been issued within the solicitation documents, the CO or
Purchasing Agent may not respond to the prospective proposer's inquiries but will
direct him/her to submit such inquiry in writing so that the CO or Purchasing Agent
may more fairly respond to all prospective proposers in writing by addendum.
