Submitting a proposal in the correct manner and on time are two of the most elemental aspects of any response to a solicitation. After all, if you don’t submit the proposal, there is zero chance that the agency will review your proposal. Unfortunately, every so often there are hiccups in the submission process that cause delays. And, as one disappointed offeror found out, in the vast majority of cases these delays will be held against the offeror and not attributed to the agency.
