2/14/2019 - This notice posts updates to Section L 12.6. An excerpt of the changed language is below and the amendment is attached: The Oral Presentations will take place in one of the Department of State conference rooms in SA-17, or a conference room to be identified. The conference rooms consist primarily of a rectangular conference table encircled by chairs. Chairs are also available around the perimeter of the room. Conference rooms contain a desktop computer with access to Department of State networks, as well as a keyboard, mouse, and one or more large monitors. Although outlets for laptops and other electronic devices are available, the Department of State requests that Offerors not bring any electronic or audiovisual equipment in support of their presentation (e.g., laptop, projector, screen, etc.). Please note that personal and corporate devices are not permitted to connect to Department of State networks or hardware. If requested by the Offeror, the Department of State will use the presentation capabilities of the conference room (i.e., the in-room desktop computer, peripherals, and monitor(s)) to display the Offeror's presentation using the version submitted on the Offeror's CD (as noted in L.12.5). If use of conference room presentation capabilities is requested, the Offeror will retain control of when slides advance or reverse throughout the presentation. The Offeror may bring additional printed copies of the presentation for attendees, however the Government will not accept any other materials and the Offeror shall collect all additional printed copies at the conclusion of the presentation. The Department of State will entertain requests to view conference rooms in advance of a presentation by scheduling an appointment with the contracting officer, however appointments may not be feasible subject to room availability. Such appointments must be scheduled no later than one (1) full business day before an Offeror's scheduled oral presentation and shall not interfere with a presentation or other meeting in progress. The Offeror may not audio or video record its own presentation and shall not be reimbursed for any costs associated with the presentation.
