Confirm every deadline in the official solicitation. Do not rely on a comparison tool, email, calendar entry, or search result as the authoritative due date.
What to compare
- Original response or bid-opening date and time.
- Revised date, time, and time zone stated in an amendment.
- Any related submission-channel or acknowledgment instruction that changed with the deadline.
Why source context matters
A date may appear in several places for different purposes. Gold Standard Analysis flags detected date/time changes and shows the source snippets and pages so the reviewer can determine what the date refers to.
What the tool does not decide
The product does not determine legal materiality, excuse late submissions, determine responsiveness, or certify that a deadline has been interpreted correctly. The solicitation and contracting office instructions control.
