(5) Other electronic formats are not acceptable.

Ensure that filenames of attachments DO NOT contain spaces to limit virus scanners rejecting the email as unscannable.

(d) Please pay close attention to the Issued By block location on the cover page of the solicitation for closing date and time. The closing date and time is based on the local time of the listed location of the Issued By office. In accordance with FAR 15.208(a), offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any revisions, and modifications, so as to be received by the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified.

(e) It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal/quote is received by the date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation. In accordance with FAR 15.208, if the proposal/quote was not received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure (in this case, received through SAM) by the exact date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation, it will be determined late. Proposal/quote is defined to mean ALL volumes or parts required in the solicitation are included in the electronic submission.

Note: There is no "expected" or "target" length of time for proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore offerors are strongly cautioned when submitting proposals to allow adequate time for submission.

(f) Solicitations may remain posted on beta.SAM.gov after the solicitation closing date. If the response deadline has passed for the solicitation, vendors will no longer be able to submit electronic responses.
