B08_Attachment 0005_Non Accetpable File Types.docx

This is an attachment defining non-acceptable file types for proposal submissions to the CAAA Rapid Acquisition Sustainment Program (RASP) Basic Ordering Agreement solicitation (W519TC-26-R-RASP). The document establishes security requirements for the Government's networks by prohibiting submission of files deemed to pose security risks. Offerors are expressly prohibited from submitting files with executable extensions (including .exe, .bat, .cmd, .msi, .ps1, .vbs, and 76 additional executable file types), compressed archive formats (.zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz, .iso, .jar), media files (.mp3, .mp4, .wav, .mov, .avi, .wmv), and database files (.accdb, .accde, .accdr, .accdt, .db, .sql). The Government reserves the right to reject any file type deemed a security risk beyond those listed. Proposals containing prohibited file types are considered non-compliant and will not be accepted; the Government's email system and security gateways may automatically block or quarantine such submissions without notification to the sender or recipient.

Only three file formats are approved for proposal submission: Microsoft Word (.docx), Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), and Adobe PDF (.pdf). The responsibility for ensuring proposal compliance rests solely with the offeror. This restriction applies to all proposals submitted under the RASP solicitation, which was amended on an unknown date to convert from a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside to Full and Open Competition, extend the closing date to December 7, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. CST, and restructure requirements across 10 categories and CLINs.
