(a) Before the opening of bids or proposals, a solicitation may be amended, or time for opening may be extended, upon the procurement officer's determination that the extension or amendment is in the state's best interest. All potential bidders or offerors known to have copies of the solicitation shall be advised of the extension or amendment.

(1) the state no longer requires the supplies, services, or construction;

(2) the state no longer can reasonably expect to pay for the procurement;

(3) proposed amendments to the solicitation would be of such magnitude that a new solicitation is desirable; or
