LIMITATIONS (APR

2015), paragraph (b)(1), pages L-7 & L-8

(1) Submit two identical electronic copies of the proposal on Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives. Each USB drive shall contain a complete set of all documents required by this provision. The USB drives shall be new and virus-free, and shall not be encrypted or password protected or contain anything other than the material required by the terms of this solicitation. Each USB drive shall be labeled as to the offeror or proposed subcontractor (submitted via sealed package through the offeror), with copy number indicated (i.e., “Original,” “Copy 1”).

(1) (i) Submit proposals via NASA’s secure large file transfer (LFT) capability. Electronic submissions shall not contain hidden formulas or tables, be locked, be protected, or contain links to data. All electronic submissions must be searchable and shall not contain scanned documents. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure documents are virus and malware free, as documents determined by NASA to contain a virus or malware will not be opened or evaluated. Subcontractors submitting Cost volumes (i.e., those subcontractors with a value of $5 million or greater over the life of the contract) not submitted through the Offeror may submit their required proposal information separately using the instructions in this provision. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure subcontractor submissions by the time and date specified for proposal submission.

(ii) Offerors that intend to submit a proposal in response to this solicitation shall request an LFT invitation email from Yong H. Castillo at the following email address:

yong.h.castillo@nasa.gov. Offerors must courtesy copy

(cc) Rhoney Triplett at rhoney.triplett-1@nasa.gov to ensure requests are timely accommodated. All Offerors must submit their request for an LFT invitation to the aforementioned emails, no later than seven calendar days prior to the proposal due date. The Government anticipates responding with an invitation to use LFT no later than five calendar days prior to the proposal due date.

(iii) Upon receipt of the invitation email, the Offeror’s representative must click the link in the email to access the LFT website and register for an account. Email invitations with LFT links expire in 168 hours. The Offeror’s representative will create his/her own password.

The LFT website contains an LFT Quick Start Guide and an LFT User Guide with additional instructions. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to follow instructions provided in the LFT Quick Start Guide and the LFT User Guide. After logging into LFT, the Offeror should click the Send File tab to enter the recipient’s email address of yong.h.castillo@nasa.gov and a cc copy to rhoney.triplett- 1@nasa.gov, compose a message to the recipient, and attach files. In the “Subject” block of the “Send File” tab state “SEB/METTS III Proposal – [Insert Company Name].” Note: LFT sessions expire after 15 minutes of inactivity. Offerors are advised that notifications alerting users the session is about to expire will not be provided by the LFT system, and any changes to the email form on the Send File tab will not be saved if the session times out. If an Offeror wishes to send a file over 2GB, an Accellion applet will need to be downloaded. Files can be sent up to 100 GB in total size.

(iv) Offerors are responsible for ensuring their proposal reaches the Government office designated in the solicitation by the date and time specified in the solicitation. Immediately after all files have been transferred and the proposal has been submitted in its entirety, the Offeror shall email Yong Castillo with a listing of all documents that were submitted via LFT, to include a listing of all subcontractors submitting separate

Index RFP Reference From To Cost volumes. Failure to submit a complete electronic proposal by the due date and time specified in the solicitation will result in the proposal being considered late and will be handled in accordance with FAR 15.208(b).

(v) The Government is not responsible for any failure attributable to the transmission or receipt of documents submitted using electronic means, including missing of any established deadlines. Please note that uploading documents via LFT and the transmission of the files from the Offeror to the Government may not be instantaneous.

Offerors are cautioned to allow for sufficient time to ensure timely proposal delivery before the submission deadline. To ensure successful delivery, Offerors are encouraged to submit proposals at least 24 hours prior to the time specified in the solicitation.
