Une offre à commandes n'est pas un contrat. Il s'agit d'une offre d'un fournisseur éventuel qui vise à fournir, au besoin, des biens et des services à des prix convenus au préalable, conformément aux modalités prévues dans l'offre à commandes. Un contrat n'est conclu que lorsque le gouvernement passe une commande ou établit une commande subséquente à une offre à commandes. En outre, le gouvernement n'assume aucune obligation d'achat tant que la commande n'est pas passée. 3, record 1, French, - offre%20%C3%A0%20commandes
