2) It is through the website that I should "sign in" and then be able to post my proposal for this offer? Are there standardized forms to fill up? We could not understand the way to post the proposal.

Answer: Proposal Instructions are detailed in the solicitation provision 52.212-1.

3) In the Base Year, item 2, it says to survey 300 points in Paraguay or Brazil. There is no specification of the state. So, I assume that it can be in Minas Gerais.

Answer: Yes this is an acceptable proposed survey area for this region.

4) But, in the items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 it says surveys in the state of Paraná. This state, next from São Paulo to the south, has a good gravity coverage. Based on the item 2, can I assume Minas Gerais instead?

Answer: This is also acceptable here.
