IMPORTANT INFORMATION From US Navy’s Real Estate Division, Zachary Schuhart,  zachary.t.schuhart2.civ@us.navy.mil:

For those still finalizing their submission: I (Zachary Schuhart) strongly encourage you to review Section 2 of the SFO.  Section 2.1. ‘How to Offer’ is very important for ensuring your submittal conforms to the requirements of the solicitation for us to evaluate.  This section also provides instructions for how to request a link from the DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) website.  In order to receive a link, you must email me first to initiate the request through the site at which point you’ll be able to successfully drop all necessary submittal files.  Please do not attempt to email me your proposal as it will likely get blocked by my computer due to file size.

Section 2.1A.: “Offers shall be submitted electronically via email to DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) website https://safe.apps.mil/. In order to submit a proposal through the DoD SAFE website, Offerors must request the RECO’s designated representatives identified in this SFO LI1474 to initiate a ‘Request a Drop-Off’. 

Offerors must initiate this request via email to

 Zach Schuhart at:zachary.t.schuhart2.civ@us.navy.mil,

Barbara Buckhalter at barbara.buckhalter@salasobrien.com

and Megan Schroeder at megan.e.schroeder2.ctr@us.navy.mil. 

Offerors will then receive an automated email from DoD SAFE containing the instructions for uploading the file(s). Instructions on how to use DoD SAFE can be found here: https://safe.apps.mil/. Submissions must be received by the due date and time listed above.”

Given that Monday is a Federal holiday, in the event you submit your email request for a DoD SAFE link to upload your submittal documents over the holiday weekend, I will have the DoD SAFE link to you first thing the morning of Tuesday, May 27th. You will then have until 1300 Hawaii Time on Wednesday, May 28th to upload your submittal through DoD SAFE to myself.
