PIEE Instructions.pdf

This document provides electronic proposal submission instructions for a federal solicitation using the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation Module.

Offerors must submit one electronic copy of their proposal via PIEE before the deadline specified in Block 8 of the SF 1449 form. No paper copies, CDROMs, facsimiles, or DoD SAFE submissions are accepted. Registration requires a User ID, password, and active System for Award Management (SAM) registration with a CAGE code. The document outlines step-by-step instructions for PIEE registration as a vendor, including creating user credentials, security questions, profile information, roles, and location codes. For proposal submission, offerors search for solicitations using criteria such as solicitation number, open date, response due date, product/service code, NAICS, set-aside code, place of performance zip code, contracting office DODAAC, or status. Proposals must follow specific file naming conventions beginning with the solicitation number followed by firm name and file description (example: W912QR26QA026_FIRMNAME). Files must be in native format (doc, xls, ppt) or searchable PDF, with spreadsheets readable in MS Excel with unlocked cells and formulas. Font size must be 11 or larger with letter-sized pages; larger pages count as two pages. Proposals must be organized narratively following evaluation factor order, with information presented only in relevant factor sections. Offerors are strongly encouraged to submit well before the deadline to allow for upload time and should retain upload confirmation. Submissions after the deadline will be considered late per FAR 52.212-1(c). Proprietary information must be identified and labeled per FAR 52.215-1. Training resources and vendor support links are provided for PIEE assistance.
