Bids received after the date and time stated within Block 9 of the SF33, or Block 14 of the most recently issued SF 30 as applicable, will be considered late and will not be considered for award. To avoid rejection of a bid, the offeror must make every effort to ensure its electronic submission is virus-free.

Bidders should enter a description for every file submitted. For files over 20 megabytes (MB) the bidders shall break the file into smaller files sent via separate emails with each email marked to identify which number the email is relative to the total number of emails submitted (i.e. “email one of four”). Once all of the emails submitted have been received the Government will confirm receipt via responsive email.

bidders’ submission and all teammate/subcontractor(s) independent submissions) must be received by the bid due date and time specified in Block 9 of SF 33, or SF 30 as applicable.

Electronic submission of bids satisfies the requirement set forth in Block 9 of the SF 33 (‘…in original and 1 copies…”).
