NOTE: Do NOT enter Privacy Act Data (Personal Identification Information (PII)) in the File Description.

INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW ON THE SAFE WEBSITE:

2. After selecting the “Click Here” link, you will be prompted to add your personal information, file information, recipient (Government points of contact) information and e-mail settings.

3. When completing your file information, you will be required to enter the e-mail addresses for all recipients. For this solicitation, the recipients are the Contract Specialist and the Contracting Officer, listed above.

Even if you successfully upload your bid to the SAFE site, notification will not be sent to the Government recipients until you verify your e-mail address. Entering an incorrect e-mail may result in the rejection of your submission for lateness. A Bidder can confirm proper submission by the ‘Drop-Off Completed” screen which generates based on proper file submission.

NOTE: It has been reported that documents are more quickly uploaded into the SAFE website when using a Firefox web browser. The Government cannot verify that this is true and offers no guarantee that Bidders will have more success utilizing any particular browser.

TIMELINES OF BIDS:

For the purposes of establishing whether a bid submission is considered timely, the Government considers the date and time the submission is completely uploaded into the SAFE website. For bids larger than the 2GB capacity of the SAFE website and require multiple submissions, the Government will consider the date and time the last submission is completely uploaded into the SAFE website. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous. It can take several minutes or even hours in some cases.

The Government will not be responsible for bids delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive bids. Bidders are responsible for ensuring that bids are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient. Bidders are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the bid to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

BID OPENING

Bids will be opened one hour after the time for bid submission noted above. This one hour delay is necessary to allow for technical delays. The Bid Opening Official or Contract Specialist may open electronic documents before the bid opening to prepare for the bid opening, but will not record or communicate bid prices with any other individual until the bid opening. No Government officials will open electronic documents until the independent government estimate is finalized and received by the Bid Opening Official.

THE BID OPENING TIME IS 2:00 PM EASTERN TIME

The bid opening will be conducted via public conference call. Bidders and members of the public may use the below information to access the conference call:

The Contract Specialist will record the bid opening results, which will be posted to www.beta.SAM.gov as quickly as practicable following the bid opening.

In accordance with FAR 14.402-1(c), interested persons may examine the bids after the bid opening.

Interested persons may contact the Contract Specialist identified above following the bid opening to request an electronic copy of the bid(s). Please be considerate of limited Government resources and request bid copies only as necessary.
