If the proposal is hand-carried by other than a commercial carrier, the delivery person (even if an employee of the offeror) must be a US citizen, and must obtain a signed receipt, indicating date and time of delivery, from the Mail Handling Facility personnel. The delivery person must provide the receipt since the Mail Handling Facility personnel do not have them.

L.1.4.2.4.2 Offerors are cautioned that approval to enter the installation must be obtained prior to the closing date and time for receipt of proposals.

The PCO will promptly respond to resolve any potential conflicts.

L.1.5 All or None

Offers in response to this solicitation must be submitted for all the requirements identified in the solicitation.
