552.270-1 - INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS ACQUISITION OF LEASEHOLD INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY
(MAR 1998)
(a)
Definitions. As used in this provision--
"Discussions" are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's
discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.
"In writing" or "written" means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated,
and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.
"Proposal modification" is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an
amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.
"Proposal revision" is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a
Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.
"Time," if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays,
Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include
the next working day.
(b)
Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain
unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the
amendment(s).
(c)
Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.
(1)
Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and
modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages. Offers must be:
(i)
Submitted on the forms prescribed and furnished by the Government as a part of this solicitation or on
copies of those forms, and
(ii)
Signed. The person signing an offer must initial each erasure or change appearing on any offer form. If the
offeror is a partnership, the names of the partners composing the firm must be included with the offer.
(2)
Late proposals and revisions.
(i)
The Government will not consider any proposal received at the office designated in the solicitation after the
exact time specified for receipt of offers unless it is received before the Government makes award and it
meets at least one of the following conditions:
(A)
It was sent by registered or certified mail not later than the 5th calendar day before the date
specified for receipt of offers (e.g., an offer submitted in response to a solicitation requiring receipt
of offers by the 20th of the month must have been mailed by the 15th).
(B)
It was sent by mail (or telegram or facsimile, if authorized) or hand-carried (including delivery by a
commercial carrier) if it is determined by the Government that the late receipt was due primarily to
Government mishandling after receipt at the Government installation.
(C)
It was sent by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail Next Day Service-Post Office to Addressee, not
later than 5:00 p.m. at the place of mailing two working days prior to the date specified for receipt of
proposals. The term "working days" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.
(D)
It was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation and was
received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one
working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals.
(E)
There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the activity designated for receipt
of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers, and the
