Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 13 of the SF 1442, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30, as applicable, will be considered late and will not be considered for award.

Once all of the emails submitted have been received the Government will confirm receipt via responsive email. If a bidder submits multiple bids the Government will only consider the last bid submitted prior to the bid due date and time.

Do not assume submission will be instantaneous. File size and number of files submitted shall be considered.

Rejection of bids will be handled in accordance with FAR 14.404. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or subline items are materially unbalanced (see 15.404-1(g)). Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly over or underestimated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques.

1.1.12 NOTICE REGARDING BUY AMERICAN STATUE

The Buy American statute (41 U.S.C. 83 chapter 83, Buy American) generally requires that only domestic construction material be used in the performance of this contract. Exception from the Buy American statue shall be permitted only in the case of non-availability of domestic construction materials or allowed under Trade Agreements, if included in the solicitation. A bid offering nondomestic construction material will not be accepted unless specifically approved by the Government or allowed under Trade Agreements, if included in the solicitation. When a bidder proposes to furnish nondomestic construction material, the bid must set forth an itemization of the quantity, unit price, and intended use of each item of such nondomestic construction material. When offering nondomestic construction material pursuant to this paragraph, bids may also offer, at stated prices, any available comparable domestic construction material, so as to avoid the possibility that failure of a nondomestic construction material to be acceptable under this paragraph will cause rejection of the entire bid, unless allowed under Trade Agreements, if included in the solicitation. All bidders are cautioned that, prior Government conduct notwithstanding, the Contractor’s selection of a domestic construction material (as defined in FAR 52.225-9 Buy American Construction Materials) which would require the subsequent selection of a foreign construction material for compatibility is not a justification for waiver of the Buy American statue. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to verify, prior to submitting the materials for approval that each system can be built to meet the contract specifications and Buy American statue requirements of the solicitation.

1.1.13 FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to investigate applicable federal, state and local taxes and any specific exemptions that may exist.
