What term is used to describe the written documents distributed to all bidders that contain significant details about a bid?

Specifications
Bulletins
Addenda
Procurement documents

The correct answer is: Addenda

The term "Addenda" refers to the written documents that are distributed to all bidders during the bidding process, which include important updates, clarifications, or changes to the original procurement documents. These documents are critical as they ensure that all bidders have access to the same information and are able to submit their bids based on the same criteria. Addenda help maintain fairness in the bidding process by officially communicating modifications to plans, specifications, or the terms and conditions of the bid. The other choices, while related to the bidding process, are not the most accurate or comprehensive term for what is specifically provided to bidders regarding changes or additional details after the initial bid documents have been released. Specifications detail the requirements of the project but do not encompass updates; bulletins may convey other important announcements but are typically less formal; procurement documents refer to the whole suite of documents concerning the bidding process rather than focused updates.
