Response 5. The offeror implies that offerors are "required" to submit past performance information early IAW 4.2, and if they don't they will be disqualified. That statement is incorrect. 4.2 states offerors are "requested" to submit past performance early, and failure to do so will not result in disqualification. The government records the time and date proposals are received to verify that they were received before the proposal closing time and date.

Question 6. Please specify how the Government requires the delivery of the additional copies of

Volume II Past Performance to ensure they are received in the time directed?

Please specify how the Government will confirm the required delivery date of the original proposal Volumes I, III, IV given that they will are required be delivered though the USPS with no record of receipt?

Response 6. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure proposals are received by the closing date stated in the solicitation. Offerors are encouraged to send proposals early enough to ensure it is delivered before the closing date and time. There is no requirement that proposals are to be delivered by USPS. All mail services will deliver to Tinker AFB.
