L.5.1. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that a full and complete proposal is received by the date and time established within the solicitation for receipt of timely proposals. Receipt means actual receipt by PCO, not merely receipt on the

Government Installation. Failure to confirm receipt will result in the waiver of any argument of an offer being timely sent, but not delivered to the PCO. It is highly recommended that Offerors request a delivery confirmation or other form of acknowledgement to verify the proposal submission was received. Absent the opening of discussions, if required, the Government will not accept any changes, additions, or deletions for evaluation purposes. Should an Offeror have difficulties with the delivery of proposals, please immediately notify the PCO via email to: mailto:USARMY.RIA.acc.mbx.asp-tsa-2@mail.mil.

L.6. VOLUME I - SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTS AND PROOF OF FACILITY CLEARANCE FACTOR. There is no page limit to this volume, except as noted below.

For the SECRET Facility Clearance, the Offeror shall provide at the time of proposal submission the following information: name of company; company CAGE code; company facility clearance level; and company Facility Security Officer contact information (name, phone number, and email address).

The PCO will verify the Offeror and the teammates/ subcontractors/ managing partner identified possess a SECRET Facility Clearance via the DSS ISFD. Failure to have submitted the required SECRET Facility Clearance by the proposal closing date shall render the Offeror ineligible to receive a contract award and will result in the proposal not being evaluated further. If the CAGE code for the Offeror, managing partner, teammate or subcontractor does not possess a Secret Facility Clearance, the Offeror will be found unacceptable. The Offerors proposal will not be further evaluated and will not be further considered for award.

Note: The managing partners clearance will not serve as an extended clearance for any employee without a clearance or who is not capable of obtaining a clearance.

Sections A-K and any Amendments.
