Each request for proposals has a due date. The government posts a request for bids, quotes, etc and expects (i.e. requires) interested parties to reply by that date. Simple enough.
In GovCon, the rules are generally clear: on time is on time. Late is late. However, there are circumstances and nuances that the offeror and the Contracting Officer have to navigate.
In this episode, Kevin and Paul dig into what the FAR actually says about late proposals and how best to work within and through those rules.
