ELECTRONIC BID SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS – Incorporated as an add text in Section 00 21 00, or if being used for commercial acquisitions, add text after the last page of the SF1449:

Bidders shall submit their bids via email to the following individuals by no later than the date and time established in Block 9 of the Standard Form (SF) 33, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable:

First Name, Last Name, Contracting Officer: ruthann.haider@usace.army.mil First Name, Last Name, Contract Specialist: andrew.j.sprys@usace.army.mil

Each email shall contain the following information:

Solicitation No. W912EF21B00003 Bid Due Date and Time: 10:00 A.M. on 21-JAN-2021 Bid Validity Date: 60 Days

Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 9 of the SF33, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable, will be considered late and will not be considered for award. To avoid rejection of a bid, the bidder must make every effort to ensure its electronic submission is virus-free. Bids, or portions thereof, submitted with the presence of a virus or which are otherwise unreadable will be treated as unreadable pursuant to FAR 15.207(c).

Bidders should enter a description for every file submitted. For files over 20 megabytes (MB) the bidders shall break the file into smaller files sent via separate emails with each email marked to identify which number the email is relative to the total number of emails submitted (i.e. “email one of four”). Once all of the emails submitted have been received the Government will confirm receipt via responsive email. If a bidder submits multiple bids the Government will only consider the last bid submitted prior to the bid due date and time.

Do not assume submission will be instantaneous. File size and number of files submitted shall be considered.

Bidder/Teammate/Subcontractors should allow adequate time for submission completion because the entire bid (i.e.

bidders’ submission and all teammate/subcontractor(s) independent submissions) must be received by the bid due date and time specified in Block 9 of SF 1449, or SF 30 as applicable.

Electronic submission of bids satisfies the requirement set forth in Block 9 of the SF 33 (‘…in original and ___ copies…”). Additionally, electronic submission of the bid guarantee, when a bid guarantee is required, is due with the bid submission. Mailing a bid guarantee for submission is not allowed.
