(3) The PIEE electronic signature process requires time to obtain through PIEE, a digital pin. Bidders/Offerors are responsible for allotting sufficient time to obtain this pin during the submission process in order to complete the PIEE signing and posting process prior to the date and time for submission. Once an offeror successfully signs and posts the offer, PIEE will send official submission date and time email to government Contracting Officials; it is the responsibility of the Offeror to confirm receipt of proposal.

Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. It can take several minutes or, in some cases, hours. Bidders/Offerors are responsible for ensuring that bids/proposals are submitted reach the designated location in time, thus responsible for allowing sufficient time for submission.
