8) RFP page 12 (of 61), Section 00110 2.1.1 The RFP requires a complete price proposal on

CD at the time of proposal submission. Pricing from all interested and qualified subcontractors usually arrives only moments before a proposal is due, making it difficult to complete all price proposal material at the delivery location and burn a CD, with all completed price materials, moments before the deadline. The alternative involves concluding pricing early, but this often requires offerors to exclude subcontractors and to miss pricing from qualified firms that may be lowest in price and that may represent a best overall value to the government. Will the government allow offerors to submit CD copies for Volumes I and II within 24 hours after the hard copy proposal submission?

CD/DVDs will be required at submission time.

Exhibit E for each option CLIN for a total of six (6) exhibit Es. These documents are required with your solicitation at the required due date.
