Upon determining that you will submit a proposal in response to this solicitation, the offeror shall submit their point of contact (POC) name and email address to the assigned Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer via email to Peter.Kho@navy.mil and Jillita.Bulluck@navy.mil. It is important that the POC information remains valid throughout the lifetime of the solicitation. Upon receipt of this information, the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer will “Request a Drop-Off” procedure in DoD SAFE, obtain a “Request Code” and provide the Request Code to the offeror’s POC email address. Only the identified POC will be able to drop-off proposals or proposal revisions in DOD SAFE. Failure to provide accurate POC information will preclude the offeror from using DoD SAFE.

To submit the proposal, the offeror will log into DoD SAFE at https://safe.apps.mil, click Drop-off and enter the Request Code that was provided by the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer. The system will allow for inclusion of a short note to the Recipient and then the offeror will click to add files or drag and drop them. Click “Drop-Off Files” to send the files to the recipient. The file(s) are uploaded and an email will be sent to the recipient notifying them of the “drop-off”. [Additional details can be viewed in the DoD SAFE User Guide available at https://safe.apps.mil]. Note that the submission of any proposal must be completed no later than the time indicated above. The DoD SAFE system will record the date and time of package submittal. The date and time of package submittal recorded in DoD SAFE shall govern the timeliness of any proposal submission.

Offerors shall allow adequate time to upload files which may be slower for non-DoD users and to avoid other technical difficulties that may be encountered. Offerors are also responsible for submitting files in the format specified consistent with requirements stated elsewhere in this solicitation. Files that cannot be opened, or are otherwise missing the required content are the responsibility of offerors.

It is the sole responsibility of the Offeror to obtain the RFP files, along with any amendments, from Opportunities (www.beta.sam.gov). Unprotected editable electronic file copies of the RFP documents, including Word, Excel, and/or Adobe files will not be provided. Please plan accordingly.
