Bids2Bank counts acquisition method suffix codes B, C, S and T as approved-source restrictions 1. When an RFQ carries one and your CAGE is not on its approved list, the "Testing, packaging and other requirements" factor of the should-we-bid score 2 loses up to 20 points 3; when your CAGE is listed, nothing is deducted 4.
