Provision (contracting)

In United States government contracting, a provision or solicitation provision is a written term or condition used in a solicitation. A solicitation provision applies only before a contract is awarded to a vendor.[1] This distinguishes provisions from clauses, which apply after contracts are awarded (and possibly before).
