https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/xhtml/wbt/sol/solicitation/proposals.xhtml - This link is for Offerors regarding the Proposal Manager function and instruction on submitting a Proposal.

a. File Size Limitations: Offerors are advised to follow the PIEE instructions for uploading files. PIEE supports delivery of up to 1.9GB per file, with no limit on the number of files, as well as multiple file formats. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections in order to upload them into the system. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.

b. File Naming Convention: 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:

- W912P522B0016 – (FIRM NAME) – VOLUME I

- W912P522B0016 – (FIRM NAME) – VOLUME II

Each file name shall begin with the Solicitation number followed by the firm’s name, and a brief file description. Please see the examples above.

c. File Organization: Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed, and logically assembled. Font size shall be the size listed in the submission requirements for each factor. Pages shall be letter sized (larger page sizes (such as 11x17 fold-outs, etc.) will be counted as two pages. Bids shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the bid 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 each section for each factor.

d. Upload Completion & Deadline: Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the Solicitation document. The time and date of bid receipt will be the upload completion/delivery time and date recorded within the PIEE site. 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. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their record. Submissions after the deadline will be considered late and will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

e. Electronic Files: Files shall be in their native format (i.e. doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text.
