3. General Proposal Submission Requirements.

a. Electronic Proposals. In an effort to reduce paperwork and costs, ALL

RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED

ELECTRONICALLY. Hand carried delivery or USPS/UPS/Fedex delivery of hard copies and/or CD-ROMs are not authorized. Facsimile submission is not authorized.

Email submission is not authorized. ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION IS

REQUIRED THROUGH THE FEDBIZOPPS (FBO.GOV) “ELECTRONIC RESPONSE”

FEATURE. The FBO vendor user guide has information & instructions on how to utilize this feature. The FBO vendor user guide is accessible via the following web URL:

https://www.fbo.gov/downloads/FBO_Vendor_Guide.pdf. Offerors wishing to verify that their electronic submission is successful may do so by contacting the solicitation points of contact (as listed in solicitation section Section 00 00 00 and on the FBO announcement page).

b. File Size Limitations. Offerors are advised to follow the FBO instructions for uploading files larger than 10MB (java upload). FBO has not posted official file size limitations for its electronic response module, however, it has been observed that uploads to FBO tend to be problematic when the files are sized 100MB or greater. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections in order to upload it to the system. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.

c. File Names. To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention: Each filename shall begin with the solicitation number, followed by the word “RESPONSE”, followed by your firm’s name, and finally a brief file description. EXAMPLES:

(1) “W912GB19R0001 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I.pdf”

(2) “W912GB19R0001 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I Part 1.pdf”

(3) “W912GB19R0001 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I Part 2.pdf”

(4) “W912GB19R0001 RESPONSE Firmname Volume I diagrams, figures.pdf”

(5) “W912GB19R0001 RESPONSE Firmname Volume II.pdf”

d. File Organization, Formatting, and other instructions. Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed, and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 or larger. Pages shall be letter sized--larger page sizes (such as 11x17 foldouts, etc.) will be counted as two pages. Offerors shall prepare proposals in the English language. Proposals shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the proposal follows the order and format of the factors. Information presented should be organized so as to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Information pertaining to more than one evaluation factor should be repeated in the each section for each factor. Electronic files shall be Microsoft Windows compatible. Files shall be submitted in their native format (i.e., doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text. If the electronic files are of a size at which they must be compressed (zipped), they shall be compressed into one zipped folder.

e. Upload Completion & Deadline. Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on solicitation document. The time & date of proposal receipt will be the upload completion / delivery time & date recorded within FBO.

Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Large files (e.g., 10MB or more) will take some time to upload. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process and troubleshooting. Proposal submission difficulties should be coordinated with the Federal Service Desk at https://fsd.gov and/or +1-866-606-8220 (Mon-Fri 8am-8pm Eastern Time UTC -5:00). Experience shows that if an upload does not complete until after the deadline, the FBO system WILL NOT COMPLETE. The FBO system will automatically shut off the “Electronic Submission” feature at the specified deadline--once that occurs, the feature will disappear from the announcement. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their record. Submissions after the deadline may be emailed to the solicitation points of contact (as listed in solicitation section Section 00 00 00 and on the FBO announcement page), but be advised they will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with

FAR 15.208.

f. Any information, presented in a proposal that the Offeror wants safeguarded from disclosure to other parties must be identified and labeled in accordance with the requirements of Provision “FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to OfferorsCompetitive Acquisition (Jan 2004),” subparagraph (e). The Government will endeavor to honor the restrictions against release requested by Offerors, to the extent permitted under United States law and regulations.

g. SPECIAL NOTICE: System for Award Management. Please take notice that the System for Award Management (SAM, www.sam.gov) has a new entity registration requirement that firms submit an "original, signed notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number before the registration will be activated."
