Further information is not publicly releasable and would have to be requested tough the Freedom of Information Office. Question: “We are not sure what the instruction for submission is saying”: 2.2.1 Electronic Proposal Media Paragraph 1, “ 24 hours prior to your planned submission day/time.” Paragraph 2, “This must be complete 24 hours before the proposal receipt due time and date.” Does this mean “at least 24 hours” or “within 24 hours” of submission? Does this mean the request for drop off must occur on Sunday 26 July 2020 5:00 PM Eastern Time?” Answer: In regards to the 24 hour notification for DOD SAFE invitation to submit proposals, a DODSAFE invitation is required to be provided by a Government POC in order to submit proposals. The due date and time for submission of proposals is 27 July 2020 no later than 5PM Eastern Time. So, the time to request the DOD Safe invitation and the time to receive your invitation must be considered when submitting your proposal. If the DOD SAFE request is not received by 5PM on 26 July (24 hours before the due date/time) it will not make your proposal ineligible for award, however if your proposal is not received by 5PM Eastern Time on 27 July, that will make your proposal ineligible for award. You may send your request for DoD Safe invitation prior to 24 hours. You may send the request for a DoD SAFE invitation now. The Government cannot guarantee that the DODSAFE invitation will be sent to you in time to submit your proposal unless the request is sent AT LEAST 24 hours prior to the submission time. Question: “I would like to request clarification regarding section 8.2.8 and attachment L-4. Are the offerors to submit the L-4 attachments after being filled out by the customers to you or are the customers to submit it directly to you?” Answer: Section L, Paragraph 8.2.8 2) b states, “ As stated in Attachment L-4, the reference will complete this form and return it directly to the Government by the solicitation closing date.” Question: “Section 2.1.7 requests that offerors submit volumes as 1 file, but this is contradictory of the file names requests provided in Amendment 01. I would like to submit whichever way the Government would prefer. Can you please advise if you would prefer 1 file per volume or individual files as laid out in amendment 01.” Answer: Amendment 01 would take precedent as to how the proposal are to be submitted. Question: Can the due date be extended? (Asked in various ways) Answer: The Government cannot make any changes that would impact schedule.
