About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document for the SCIF as a Service contract opportunity.

The document addresses six submissions-related inquiries regarding White Paper deadlines and procedures. The Government extended the White Paper submission deadline to Friday, May 1, 2026, at 4:00 PM. Submissions received after this date and time will be considered late and may not be accepted or considered for award. Companies may refine and resubmit White Papers prior to the deadline without penalty. No changes to response requirements, such as increased page limits, accompany the extension. The 4:00 PM deadline applies uniformly to all submissions, whether new or revised. For companies that submitted White Papers before learning of the extension, acceptance depends on explicit company notification to the Government stating intent to proceed with the currently-submitted proposal. The Government does not assume intent to move forward or desire to resubmit without clear, explicit written confirmation from the company.
