It is recommended that proposals be mailed rather than hand carried due to extensive and rapidly changing base security measures. Late proposals will be processed in accordance with the provision “Late Submissions, Modifications and Withdrawals of Proposals”. Proposals will not be considered “received” until physically delivered to the 56th Contracting Squadron, 14100 W. Eagle Street, Luke AFB, AZ 85309-1217.
