Companies will not be precluded from proposing if space and access support is not requested or provided. Note: the Government may not be able to accommodate an Offeror’s request despite receiving a formal written request for space and access. If an Offeror is interested in requesting space and access support, please send requests to the Contracting Officer and Program Manager when submit the required DD254 information. Due to a limited amount of resources the Government cannot guarantee every request will be approved. If resources are available for usage, the Offeror will receive notification from the Government. The Government does not intend to extend the proposal due date based on a lack of access to space and/or classified systems.
