Except as provided in 815.370-4, if only one offer is received when competitive procedures were used and the solicitation allowed fewer than 30 days for receipt of proposals, the contracting officer should—

(b) Consider re-soliciting, allowing an additional period of at least 30 days for receipt of proposals.
