Multiple Choice

A proposal may be withdrawn

In negotiated acquisitions, a proposal is not binding until a contract is awarded, so the submitting party may change its mind. A proposal may be withdrawn by written notice to the contracting officer at any time before award. This allows an offeror to back out if circumstances change or if pursuing the proposal no longer makes sense, without penalty, as long as the contract hasn't been awarded yet.

The other statements don’t fit because withdrawal before award is permissible and does not require government approval; once a contract is awarded, a withdrawal of the proposal is no longer possible. And proposals aren’t irrevocably fixed the moment they’re submitted.
