L-3.0 Submission of Offers a.

Offerors are cautioned to submit their proposal in either PDF or MS Word Format.

b.

Companies are encouraged to hand deliver their proposals due to delays with incoming mail to US Government facilities (both US Postal and courier service). Prospective Offerors should be aware that the TSA building is a secure building. All visitors must enter at the Visitor’s Entrance located in the East Tower at 601 South 12th Street. Visitors will be required to walk through a metal detector, have all belongings screened by an x-ray system, show valid picture identification, and sign the visitor’s log. Guards will telephone the visitor’s TSA contact to announce their arrival and request a TSA employee come to the visitor’s lobby to receive the package. These procedures WILL require extra time. Offerors must, therefore, ensure that any commercial delivery service or company employees have appropriate identification, and allow extra time for any hand carried deliveries. Delays encountered at the guard desk or refusal of admission DOES NOT constitute excusable delays. Proposals must be received by the Contract Specialist, no later than the exact time specified to be considered for award. The Late Submissions, Modifications, Revisions and Withdrawals provision contained in this RFP shall govern. Proposals should be clearly marked: HSTS01-09-R-RES270 on the outermost mailing envelope.
