Any bid that is received after the exact time specified is “late” and will not be considered, unless:

1. It was not received or properly allocated by the e-Procurement Portal due to circumstances beyond the control of the Bidder.

2.

5. The bidder has the necessary organization, experience, accounting, and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them, in compliance with 49 U.S.C. Section 5325(j)(2)(D) or as required in the Work Scope to perform the service or work;

Past failure to apply sufficient tenacity, perseverance, and effort to perform acceptably is strong evidence of non-responsibility. Failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining satisfactory performance.

12. Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on whether the bidder is responsible and has submitted a responsive bid.
