It should be noted that this installation observes strict security procedures to enter the facility. These security procedures are NOT�considered an interruption of normal Government processes, and proposals received after the due�date and time specified in the Call because of security delays will be considered� late�.� Furthermore, note that if offerors utilize commercial carriers in the delivery of proposals, they�may not honor time-of-day delivery guarantees on military installations.
