* “HAND-CARRIED PROPOSAL” applies when the offeror intends to deliver its proposal in-person directly to the Business Opportunities Office (“BOO”) at the address above. Further, the above address is also applicable when the offeror submits its proposal via a commercial carrier (e.g., UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.).

Notes:

NOTE REGARDING “HAND-CARRIED PROPOSALS:”

1. All hand-carried proposals are to be delivered to the Business Opportunities Office between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays as set forth in 5 United States Code Section 6103. Offerors using a commercial carrier service must ensure that the carrier “hand-carries” the package to the Business Opportunities Office specified above for hand-carried proposals prior to the instant Solicitation’s closing date and time. As previously stated, the hand-carried proposal’s package must be plainly marked on the OUTSIDE OF THE COMMERCIAL CARRIER’S ENVELOPE with the solicitation number, closing date and time set forth for receipt of proposals as indicated in Block 8 of the Standard Form 1449 (Page 1 of Solicitation).

PAGE 4 OF 73 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

Business Opportunities Office, an escort may be required. The escort will be an employee of the Business Opportunities Office. The following are telephone numbers for the Business Opportunities Office: (215) 737- 8511, 9044, 7354, 0317, and 8566. Upon arriving at the security office, the offeror should call the Business Opportunities Office in order to obtain an escort. An offeror is advised to allow sufficient time to complete delivery of hand-carried proposals. Since the length of time necessary to gain access to the Business Opportunities Office varies based on a number of circumstances, it is recommended that an offeror arrive at the installation at least one hour prior to the time that the solicitation closes to allow for security processing and to secure an escort. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ADVISORY IS A SUGGESTION AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AN OFFEROR WILL GAIN ACCESS TO THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OFFICE IF IT ARRIVES ONE HOUR BEFORE THE PROPOSAL IS DUE. Ultimately, it is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that its proposal is received at the correct location at the correct time. Failure to do so may result in the offeror’s proposal being deemed untimely and not considered further for the award per FAR 52.212-1(f).

2. Examples of “hand-carried” offers include: In-person delivery by contractor, Fed Ex, Airborne, UPS, DHL, Emery, other commercial carrier, USPS Express Mail, and USPS Certified Mail.
