(5) For additional information on submitting electronic bid responses via the FBO system see the FBO Vendor Guide – Section 4.3.1 “Submitting an Electronic Response” (https://www.fbo.gov/downloads/FBO_Vendor_Guide.pdf).

Note to offerors:

(d) Please pay close attention to the Issued By block location on the cover page of the solicitation for closing date and time.

(5) REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
