About this file
This document is an instruction attachment that provides guidance on packaging and delivering proposals for NIH solicitations using the electronic Contract Proposal Submission (eCPS) website. It is a template and procedural guidance document rather than a solicitation for specific products or services.
Proposals must be submitted electronically via https://ecps.nih.gov; facsimile and email submissions are not accepted. Offerors are responsible for timely submission by the deadline specified in the solicitation, and late proposals will be handled in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1. Account creation may take up to three business days, and applicants should register early. Offerors must submit three separate files: one PDF containing the Technical Proposal with all attachments, one PDF containing the Business Proposal with all attachments including the "Breakdown of Proposed Estimated Costs (plus Fee) with Excel Spreadsheet," and one Excel file in native format containing the cost breakdown spreadsheet. The Technical and Business Proposals must be independent and complete without cross-references. File naming should follow the convention: Offeror Name_Solicitation Number_Document Type (e.g., XYZ Company_NIHAI2012001_Technical.pdf).
All proposals must conform to specific formatting requirements: letter-size pages (8.5" x 11"), font size 10–12 points, no more than 15 characters per inch with maximum six lines of text per vertical inch, and at least ½-inch margins on all sides. Proposals cannot include internet links, audio files, or video files. Pages exceeding specified page limitations will be removed and not considered. Failure to adhere to formatting requirements may result in incomplete proposal review.
