(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

L.2.3 ACQUISITION SOURCE SELECTION INTERFACE SUPPORT TOOL (ASSIST): During the conduct of this acquisition, ASSIST will be used by the Government to support the proposal evaluation and source selection process. A separate tool, the ASSIST2Industry, will be used in conjunction with ASSIST to accomplish all exchanges with Offerors after receipt of proposals pursuant to Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.306. ASSIST2Industry provides the ability for the Government to issue, and the Offerors to receive and respond to, all Evaluation Notices (ENs) in a secure online environment.

L.2.3.1 In order to initiate the use of ASSIST2Industry, the Government requires the names, company titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses of two individuals that the Offeror has designated as responsible for receiving and responding to

Government ENs through ASSIST2Industry. The designation of two individuals is for the purpose of insuring availability of one individual if the other individual is not available. The required information regarding these two individuals must be submitted with the Offerors proposal and included in the cover letter.

L.2.3.2 After the solicitations closing date, the Government will establish an account in ASSIST2Industry for each individual identified by the Offeror that has submitted a proposal in response to this solicitation. The two individuals named by the

Offeror will be authorized access to that account. Two (2) separate system generated emails will be sent to each individual.

A separate area within ASSIST2Industry has been created to allow authorized Subcontractor POCs to upload proposal files only. Subcontractors will not be able to access any other information on the

ASSIST2Industry website (e.g. Questions/Evaluation Notices, Responses, etc.). Once a Subcontractor has been added, they will receive a user ID (e.g. subcontractor0001) and password (an initial password) that will be sent via two separate system generated e-mails. A

Subcontractor will have one user ID for all PRIMES and solicitation responses, i.e. if you are a Subcontractor to multiple Prime

Contractors and multiple solicitation responses, you will only have one user ID. Once an account has been established for the

Subcontractor, go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. Prime Contractors will only be able to see the number of files submitted by their Subcontractors; but, will be UNABLE TO VIEW the Subcontractors files.

ACCESSING ASSIST2Industry PRIME/SUBCONTRACTORS

L.2.3.5 Access to ASSIST2Industry will require a two factor authentication for each Prime and Subcontractor user. All

ASSIST2Industry users are required to have a username/password (first authentication) and may select one of the following three methods for implementing the second authentication to access the site:
