4. Offerors are solely responsible for submitting proposals and any modifications or revisions so as to reach the Government office designated above by the date and time specified in the solicitation. If your proposal is not received by the date and time specified in the solicitation, it will be considered a “late proposal,” in accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1 Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition.

B. Creating and Naming Files:

1. Create one PDF file of your Technical Proposal, including all attachments. The

2. Create one PDF file of your Business Proposal, including all attachments:

The Business Proposal should be created in a PDF format that enables word searches to the maximum extent practicable. Forms and/or documents requiring signature(s) may be scanned, but must be merged into the Business Proposal PDF file.

3. Create your Business Document Excel Files (one for each of the two included task order requirements). The Excel file should be the “Breakdown of Proposed Estimated Costs (plus Fee) with Excel Spreadsheet” (http://oamp.od.nih.gov/sites/default/files/DGS/contracting-forms/spshexcl_dec2012.xlsx) included in the Business Proposal in its original Excel format, not PDF. Multiple Excel files may be included, as necessary (this solicitation requires two Excel files – one for each of the two task order requirements included in this solicitation).
