No. The proposal due date remains as specified in provision MSFC 52.215- 91, DUE DATE FOR RECEIPT OF

In consideration of the current health crisis and in accordance with CDC and Federal Government recommendations for “self-quarantine” and “social distancing,” for a minimum of 2 weeks, many companies have reverted to a “work from home” status and have restricted in-office operations as well as limited travel. As a result, the ability to prepare hard-copy submissions is severely hindered. Given that “The electronic version shall serve as the official document for proposal compliance and evaluation purposes,” we kindly request the government consider removing the hard-copy submission requirement in section 1852.215-81 PROPOSAL PAGE LIMITATIONS (APR 2015) item (b). In addition, please advise if bidders are still encouraged to deliver our proposal documents to the Marshall Institute – Education Training Facility (ETF) at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (USSRC), or if mail delivery is preferred.

If a hard copy submission is required, we would also like request the Government consider a 10 business day proposal extension to April 17, 2020 in consideration of limitations presented by the COVID-19 response?

Please see the Government’s response to 1 and 2 above..
