PACKAGE DELIVERY:

UPS/FEDEX

Regional Contracting Office MCIWEST-MCB Camp Pendleton Bldg 22180 Camp Pendleton, CA 92055

The USPS service to this location is extremely diminished and jeopardizes timeliness of responses.

FAXED PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED

For proposals delivered by hand, offerors are advised that entry to the installation is restricted, and offerors are directed to familiarize themselves with the entry control location and process. Entry processing time is unpredictable and can be lengthy. The addressee indicated above may be able to facilitate entry processing, but is not required to do so, and inability to gain access shall not excuse late delivery.

If proposals are submitted in different formats requiring different delivery methods, the proposal of record shall be the last complete version received prior to the deadline.

For email proposals, the Government office designated for receipt of the proposal is the email inbox of the addressee indicated above. Notwithstanding the provisions at FAR 52.212-1(f) or FAR 52.215-1(c)(3), delivery is not accomplished until the addressee can open the email; delivery to a server or an email inbox on a server is not considered delivery to the designated Government office and the quotation is not under the Government’s control until the addressee can open the email. The email shall not be considered to be delivered unless the entire content of the email and all attachments can be read by the addressee indicated above. Receipt of an electronic acknowledgment from the addressee establishes that a record was received but does not establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received. Email attachments are limited to no more than 2MB. Offerors are specifically warned that email may be subjected to spam filters or attachment stripping.

All transmissions must clearly state the solicitation number and the name of the contracting officer on the first page to ensure proper receipt.

Attention is directed to FAR 52.212-1(f), concerning late submissions. Offerors are responsible for allowing adequate time for transmission to be completed. The Offeror bears the risk of non-receipt of transmissions, and should ensure that all pages of the proposal (and any authorized modifications) have been received by the designated office before the deadline indicated. Pages of a transmission that arrive after the deadline will not be considered.
