(a)
the original solicitation period is clearly of an inadequate length to prepare a bid submission;
(b)
prospective suppliers require additional time to prepare their bid submissions as the result of an amendment to the solicitation documents; or
(c)
the procuring entity considers it appropriate to extend the solicitation period in the circumstances.
