Electronic Proposal Submissions is required through the Army’s Electronic File Sharing Service in PIEE (https://piee.eb.mil/). The PIEE Application is used to send large files to individuals that would normally be too large to send via email. Information regarding how to set up a vendor registration is included in this link:

https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/xhtml/wbt/portal/overview/vendorRegister.xhtml. On this page, click on the “Vendor User Registration” Doc and it will take you through the process of registering as a vendor.

If you plan on submitting a quote, be sure to select “SOL-Solicitation” in the drop-down list and choose the “Proposal Manager” role to be given the proper permissions.

Further training is available at the following links:

https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/xhtml/wbt/sol/index.xhtml - This link shows information regarding the Solicitation application in PIEE and the different roles available.

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:

- W912P524Q0003 – (FIRM NAME) – VOLUME I

- W912P524Q0003 – (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.

d. Upload Completion & Deadline: Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the Solicitation document. The time and date of quote 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. Text and graphics portfolios of the electronic copies shall be in a format readable by Microsoft Office or Adobe applications. Data submitted in a spreadsheet format shall be readable by MS Excel (all cells and formulas should be unlocked).

Products stated herein are to be considered the “Basis of Design” to establish the quality, physical properties, appearance, and performance characteristics desired by the Government.

The delivery schedule requires that installation be completed no later than 120 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Restroom renovations in QA office trailer must be completed prior to workstation removal and replacement. QA office trailer workstation removal and replacement shall be completed in no more than five (5) consecutive days between move out and move in to minimize interruption of use by Government employees.

NOTE: It is strongly encouraged for interested parties to visit the site prior to bidding on this project. Failure to do so does not alleviate the responsibility of removal of existing office workstations and installation of new office workstations while maintaining ADA compliant clearances, as well as the extent of work required for the electrical and data installation component to the new cubicles. Vendor is responsible for matching, as closely as possible, existing workstation layout and colors in the Resident office trailer (Ref. Appendix A).

Contracting Officer will have final determination of the acceptability of submitted materials.
