I gather you never got past the RFP stage during your aerospace experience. :-)

A bid submission to an RFQ is a contractural obligation if accepted. I would not advise anybody to submit frivolous bids to any RFQ.

If the TA were to materially alter the contract terms from the RFQ, they open up a can of worms with regard to the competitive bidding process. If the contract terms are tougher on the bidder, then that bid can be withdrawn without penalty. If the contract terms are easier on the bidder, then the losing bidders (and even non-bidders) can stop the contract award and force the TA to start the entire bidding process from scratch. (BTW, this has happened on occasion.)
