4. General Proposal Submission Requirements.

a. Electronic Proposals. In an effort to reduce paperwork and costs, ALL RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY. Hand carried delivery or USPS/UPS/FedEx delivery of hard copies and/or CD-ROMs are not authorized. Facsimile submission is not authorized. Electronic submissions shall be via email to both the Contract Specialist, Phillip Garrison, at phillip.c.garrison@usace.army.mil and the Contracting Officer, Ryan Shoemaker, at ryan.s.shoemaker@usace.army.mil. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure receipt.

b. File Size Limitations. Offerors are advised that the file size limitation is 10MB due to email server restrictions. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections and deliver in separate emails. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.

c. File Names. To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention: Each filename shall begin with the Solicitation number, followed by the word “RESPONSE,” followed by your firm’s name, and finally a brief file description. EXAMPLES:

(1) “Firmname W912GB23R0032 RESPONSE Volume I.pdf”

(2) “Firmname W912GB23R0032 RESPONSE Volume II.pdf”

d. File Organization, Formatting, and other instructions. Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed, and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 point or larger and font text shall be legible. Pages shall be letter or A4 sized--larger page sizes (such as 11x17 foldouts, etc.)

will be counted as two pages. Offerors shall prepare proposals in the English language. Proposals shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the proposal follows the order and format of the factors. Information presented should be organized so as to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Proposals shall completely and adequately address the requirements of this Solicitation. Offerors are reminded that elaborate corporate marketing information, formatting, special reproduction techniques, etc., are not necessary. Failing to submit attachments or failing to complete the proposal properly may result in rejection of the offer without further evaluation. Information pertaining to more than one evaluation factor should be repeated in each section for each factor. Electronic files shall be Microsoft Windows compatible. Files shall be submitted in their native format (i.e., doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text. If the electronic files are of a size at which they must be compressed (zipped), they shall be compressed into one zipped folder.

e. Submission & Deadline. Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the solicitation document. The time and date of proposal receipt will be the delivery time and date recorded of email receipt on the Government’s server. The time the electronic submission is sent by the interested party is not determinative. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Offerors should time their submission with prudence by not waiting until the last day—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process and troubleshooting. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the delivery and/or read confirmation for their record but shall also request confirmation. Be advised that proposals received after the submission deadline will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure receipt.

f. Any information, presented in a proposal that the Offeror wants safeguarded from disclosure to other parties must be identified and labeled in accordance with the requirements of Provision “FAR 52.215- 1, Instructions to OfferorsCompetitive Acquisition (Jan 2004),” subparagraph (e). The Government will endeavor to honor the restrictions against release requested by Offerors, to the extent permitted under United States law and regulations.

g. An offer may be rejected if an offeror objects to any of the terms of this RFP, including any part of the specifications. The Government plans to award a contract without discussions, so an offeror may not have an opportunity to withdraw any objections that the offeror has made or provide any of the items of information described above, after the date and time that offers must be delivered to the Government. Therefore, the Government urges the offeror to submit questions or concerns via Bidder Inquiry in ProjNet at: https://www.projnet.org/projnet/ before objecting to any of the terms of this

RFP.

Please also refer to Federal Service Desk's (FSD) instructions on how to comply with this new requirement. NOTE: the instructions are different for domestic (U.S. based) and international (not U.S. based) firms. Offerors are reminded that this Solicitation includes the provision FAR 52.204-7 SAM and the resulting award will include the clause FAR 52.204-13 SAM Maintenance.
