Reference: RFP HHS-PSC-RFP-CUSTODIAL-09 Because of the increased security at Federal buildings, please allow extra time for your proposal to be delivered to the Contracting Office. The Division of Acquisition Management will no longer guarantee that personnel will be available to accept hand carried/courier packages. Every reasonable attempt will be made to accommodate all deliveries but the government maintains that it is the Offeror’s responsibility to get all proposals to room 5-101 by the scheduled closing date and time.

Proposals received late in the Contracting Office due to a delay caused by these security measures are considered late under FAR Clause 52.215-1 "Instructions to Offerors-Competitive Acquisitions (JAN 2004)(c)”.

If any additional information is required, please contact Brendan Miller, Contracting Officer, at the above address, on (301)443-5241, facsimile (301)443-3849, or E-mail bjmiller@psc.gov.

Sincerely yours, /s/
