ATTACHMENT 4

PACKAGING AND DELIVERY OF PROPOSALS

Both the Technical and Business proposals must be submitted electronically which is the official format for submission. Proposals shall be prepared and submitted in two volumes: “Volume I -Technical” and “Volume II - Business.” Each of these volumes shall be separate and complete in itself so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently of, and concurrently with, evaluation of the other. Proposals that are not submitted electronically will not be considered unless the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the hard copy offer would not unduly delay or compromise the acquisition.

Electronic submissions shall be made using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Adobe PDF only.

Charts, graphics, tables, illustrations may use smaller fonts if they are easily legible. Foldouts may be used, but their size, when unfolded, determines the number of pages used.

Proposals shall be prepared in English with Arial Font of 12 point, and the top, bottom, left and right margins shall be 1”.

Offerors are instructed to send one electronic copy of the Volume 1 – Technical and 1 electronic copy of the Volume II – Business proposals to the Contract Specialist at the following email address:
