About this file

This document is an attachment providing instructions for packaging and delivering proposals to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using the electronic Contract Proposal Submission (eCPS) website.

Proposals must be submitted electronically via https://ecps.nih.gov and will not be accepted by facsimile or email. Offerors should follow the submission instructions available on the eCPS website and should create new accounts early, as registration may take up to three business days. Offerors are solely responsible for ensuring proposals and any modifications reach the designated Government office by the date and time specified in the solicitation; proposals received after the deadline will be considered late submissions under FAR Clause 52.215-1. Technical Proposals must be submitted as a single searchable PDF file with all attachments merged together, including any scanned signature pages. Business proposals must include the "Attachment 4 – Pricing Template" in its original Excel format rather than PDF, with multiple Excel files permitted as needed. The Technical and Business proposals must each be separate and complete documents without cross-references between them. File naming should include the offeror name, solicitation number, and proposal type (e.g., XYZ Company_NIHAI2012001_Technical.pdf). Formatting and page limitation requirements are specified in Attachment 2 – Technical Evaluation Factors.

I. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

A. eCPS

1. Proposals must be submitted via the electronic Contract Proposal Submission (eCPS) website at https://ecps.nih.gov.

2. Proposals submitted by facsimile or e-mail will not be accepted.

3. Follow the “How to Submit an Electronic Proposal” instructions provided on the eCPS website at: https://ecps.nih.gov/home/howto. Please note that creating an account to submit may take up to three (3) business days. Please apply for a new account early to allow enough time for the registration process.

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

Technical 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 Technical Proposal PDF file.

2. Create your Business Document Excel. The Excel file should be the “Attachment 4 – Pricing Template” included in the Business Proposal in its original Excel format, not PDF. Multiple Excel files may be included, as necessary.

3. Each of the proposals, Technical and Business, must be separate and complete in itself.

Do not reference one proposal in another.

4. File naming convention: It is requested that the filenames for your Technical Proposal, and Excel Workbook include the name of the offeror, the solicitation number and the type of proposal (i.e., Technical, Business, or Excel Workbook).

Examples:

Technical Proposal: XYZ Company_NIHAI2012001_Technical.pdf Excel Workbook: XYZ Company_NIHAI2012001_Business.xlsx
