BID OPENING: 4/5/2023 1PM CENTRAL TIME

BID SUBMISSION: Due to the current COVID-19 public health crisis, electronic bids submitted through DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) (https://safe.apps.mil) will be the only accepted method for submission of bids for this solicitation. Traditional paper bids will not be accepted. Non-CAC users will not have the capability to upload proposals or documents without a Drop-Off request. Offerors must send an email to the Contract Specialist at todd.a.dempsey.civ@army.mil to receive a Drop-Off request; please include the solicitation number in the subject line of the email. Once the Offeror receives the Drop-Off request, the Drop-Off can only be accessed for a period of 14 days to upload files. We request that you submit your request for a Drop-Off no sooner than two to three days prior to the submission due date because all uploaded files will be automatically deleted from DoD SAFE 7 days after upload. Offeror's are reminded to allow sufficient time for their submittals' files to upload, transmit, and timestamp.

Therefore, waiting until the last minute to attempt transmission of your proposal could result in your submittal being deemed late should the website encounter performance or technical issues.

Public Bid Openings: Due to the current COVID-19 public health crisis, the Public Bid Opening for this solicitation will be conducted via teleconference. To attend the Public Bid Opening teleconference, any interested party must submit an email request to the Contract Specialist todd.a.dempsey.civ@army.mil prior to the Bid Opening time in order to access the teleconference. The Contract Specialist will provide you the phone number and attendee passcode for attendance. Once the teleconference has begun, no access information will be distributed, and no information will be repeated for late attendees.

The public bid opening will occur two hours after the due date and time specified for bids in order to facilitate the transfer bid submission via DoD SAFE to the MICC as well as set up the teleconference call.

Please note: The time the Bid is due is different from the time of the Public Bid Opening. This will allow time for bids to be downloaded from DoD SAFE in order to be read aloud during the Public Bid Opening teleconference.

Late Bids received after the Bid Due date/time will not be considered for award; even if they are received before the Public Bid Opening. Screen Shots of the DoD SAFE submission will be taken to confirm each contractor bid was received by the bid due date/time.

Bid abstracts and Screen Shots of the DoD SAFE submission will be posted on sam.gov at the conclusion of the Public Bid Opening Teleconference.

The bidder’s failure to include information required by this solicitation may result in the bid submission being found non-responsive and may therefore be ineligible for award.
