CDT and in the “Proposal Submission Requirements,” it states proposals are due 21 August 2024 by 5:00 P.M.

A3: The Volume (Technical) portion of the Proposal Submission Requirements document has been changed from “50 pages” to “No page limit”

Q4: Does Purchasing and Contracting have a share file that files can be submitted to due to the large size, such as Google Drive.

A4: We are unable to access or use any Google Drive documents. Consider saving your work as a Microsoft Word document or an Adobe PDF document to email so we can access. We can receive email up to 25MB. Your documents will have to broken up into smaller files if they exceed 25MB.

Q5: I am not total understanding what is needed for Volume IV. Please advise A5: Volume IV is for your SAM Certifications and Representations. This is where you as the contractor would mark the different “Yes” or “No” blocks in the various FAR and DFARS provisions and clauses. As long as this has been completed in SAM.gov, you are not required to re-submit this info (unless something is different or changed). See Subpart 4.12 - Representations and Certifications | Acquisition.GOV.

Q6: It appears that on the proposal requirements page in the chart at the top Volume II is Past Performance and Volume III is Price and then in the narrative it is reversed. I assume the bottom is the correct order but wanted to check so everything is labeled correctly.

Table Volume and Title

Volume I – Technical Volume II – Past Performance Volume III – Cost/Price Volume IV – Certifications/Representations
