Electronic Submission of Proposal

(a) By submission of a proposal on electronic media, the offeror must ensure that the submission is readable, in the format specified in the solicitation, and has been verified as free of computer viruses. Prior to any evaluation, the Government will check all files for viruses and ensure that all information is readable. In the event that any files are defective (unreadable), the Government may only evaluate the readable electronic files.

Further, if defective (unreadable) media renders a significant deficiency in the offeror's proposal, the Government may consider the proposal incomplete and not consider such proposals for further evaluation.

(b) The offeror must ensure that:

(1) The electronic and paper copies of its proposal submitted in response to the solicitation are identical;

(2) It has verified that its electronic proposal is readable on the hardware and software operating system format specified below:

Standard DOL image: Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office 2010

(3) It has verified that the electronic proposals are free of computer viruses using standard commercial anti-virus software.

(c) A proposal that fails to conform to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above may be subject to interception or delay at Governmental electronic communications portals. This interception or delay may result in the proposal being lost, deleted, destroyed, or forwarded in such a manner that the proposal arrives at the target destination past the time and date of the deadline for submission established in the solicitation. In the event that a proposal is lost, deleted, or destroyed due to the offeror's failure to conform to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, such proposal will be considered to have never been delivered to the Government. In the event that a proposal is delayed due to the offeror's failure to conform to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the proposal will be treated as late in accordance with the provision of this solicitation entitled Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Proposals.

I. Organization of Proposals:

DOL will evaluate proposals in accordance with the evaluation factors outlined in L.7 Proposal Content of this solicitation.

DOL will not require evaluators to search other proposal volumes for information, nor will DOL require its evaluators to search other sections within a volume. If information is not placed in the appropriate volume and tab, that section will be deemed “Unacceptable” and an offeror’s proposal may be removed from the competition. Therefore, the Offeror shall ensure that each proposal volume is complete in itself, well-written, and submitted in accordance with the instructions discussed herein. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis. Cross-referencing within and across proposal volumes shall not be permitted. The DOL personnel must be able to evaluate each volume independent of the other volumes. Offerors must tab each specific factor, subfactors, and elements; and provide a clear and concise response or your proposal will be considered “Unacceptable” for that specific factor, subfactor, or element.
