If the Navy chooses to release the SPECS, the Navy will coordinate via email with the party and provide the party the SPECS via an electronic drop on DOD SAFE.

A party’s submission shall be delivered electronically either via encrypted email to Scott Quiambao and Kathryn Corvello or via drop on DOD SAFE. If a party chooses the drop on DOD SAFE option, the party shall coordinate the “drop” with Scott Quiambao and Kathryn Corvello, whereby one of them will provide a DOD SAFE link for the drop.
