The Cherry Point Windsock, hereafter the Windsock, is the authorized, unofficial publication of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina (MCAS Cherry Point). As such, its contents do not necessarily reflect the official views of, nor constitute an endorsement by, the Department of Defense (DoD). The Windsock is a civilian enterprise (CE) newspaper, published by a CE contractor (hereafter referred to as the "Publisher") under contract with MCAS Cherry Point. As such, the Windsock contains advertising sold by the Publisher, and may contain supplements or inserts. The Publisher sells advertising to cover costs and secure earnings. Other advertising provisions are contained in this Statement of Work (SOW). The Publisher also provides personnel to aid and support the Windsock staff to support newspaper operations as stipulated in this SOW. The Windsock is published 50 times per year with a circulation of 11,500.

Priority for story publication will be determined by the PAO, but generally will be laid out by the Publisher in the following order: local (on-base) news including news briefs, local (on-base) features, local (on-base and regional) announcements, Corps-wide news and features, especially those that might be of interest to local Marines. Publisher will design and lay out all pages in accordance with the Editors' SOP, which will be provided by the PAO. PAO will have oversight and final decision on all copy and design layouts.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due. (2) (i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and- (A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it 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 offers; or (B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or (C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.
