LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS OF BIDS (52.214‑7)(NOV 1999)

    (a) Bidders are responsible for submitting bids, and any modifications or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the invitation for bids (IFB) by the time specified in the IFB.  If no time is specified in the IFB, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that bids are due.

    (b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and‑‑

    		(i) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the IFB, 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 bids; or

    		(ii) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of bids and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of bids.

    	(2) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful bid that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

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

    (d) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that bids cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of bids by the exact time specified in the IFB and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the IFB, the time specified for receipt of bids will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

    (e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids.  If the IFB authorizes facsimile bids, bids may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.214‑31, Facsimile Bids.  A bid may be withdrawn in person by a bidder or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of bids, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the bid.

Re: AMS-TM-07-0136

Dear Mr. Pooler:

My wife and I grow organic cotton in Texas. I urge you to extend the
allowance of using hydrochloric acid to remove the lint fuzz from
cottonseed for planting purposes.

Cotton fibers are a little more than an inch long, and they are attached
to the seed. Fine saw teeth in the gin remove those fibers from the seed
except for a heavy coating of fuzz that is left on the seedcoat. That
fuzziness, however, prevents the flow of the seed through a planter box.
Currently I can plant around 150 acres per day, but if I had to place
each seed in the ground by hand I do not think I could do any more than
a quarter of an acre in a day. If done manually the spacing from row to
row would not be consistent, which means I could no longer cultivate so
near to the plants and that the harvester would do poorly because the
plants would not consistently be centered in the machine. Furthermore,
this land is somewhat sandy, and all the walking around in manual
planting would pulverize the soil surface and make the land blow, hence
killing any seedlings when they came up. Our mechanical planter has
plows attached that kill the weeds that the planting rain has sprouted,
and those plows form new clods to prevent the land from blowing.

Environmentally speaking, we know that hydrochloric acid is found
naturally in our own digestive systems. The delinting facilities use
only the minimal amount of seed exposure necessary because excess time
of acid on the seed would erode through the seed coat and ruin the seed.
They then use naturally-occurring calcium to neutralize any residual
acid.

Decades ago, (I think 60 or 70 years) just before acid delinting, there
was a brief use of saw delinting, but that was aggressive enough to
shorten seed storage life because of nicking the seed. Flash flame has
been experimented with, but is energy consumptive and tricky enough to
sometimes ruin a batch of seed. Abrasive brushes have been experimented
with, but excessive friction heat is a danger to the seed, and output is
too slow for a commercial delinter. The method using hydrochloric acid
works so well that delinting companies are not inclined to go to any
other known method.

Please extend the allowance for acid delinting. Without it I am certain
there will be no more organic cotton grown in the United States.

Respectfully,

Jerry Vogler

**On behalf of the *Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation,
Inc. (BEBRF)*, I am pleased to submit these comments on the proposed
changes to the *Medicare Physician Fee Schedule*.**

**We support CMS's proposal to continue using a 5 percent threshold for
both widely available market price (WAMP) and average manufacturer price
(AMP). We ask that thresholds be maintained at consistent levels from
year-to-year to provide physicians with needed predictability. Payment
fluctuations, and particularly decreases in payment, can have an adverse
impact on patient access to drugs and biologicals. ASP is, by
definition, an average price. While this may adequately compensate most
physicians, not all physicians are able to acquire drugs and biologicals
at ASP. **

**Blepharospasm, a form of dystonia\*, is a chronic, unremitting,
bilateral, forcible closure of the eyelids. Patients with this condition
have difficulty keeping their eyes open, which results in intermittent
blindness and all that it implies-inability to work, drive, read, etc.
Because there is no known cause and no known cure, these patients, as
well as other dystonia patients depend on botulinum toxin injections
(Botox or Myobloc) for living somewhat normal lives. Experienced
injecting physicians are not always easy to find and we fear a reduction
in their numbers if they are not reimbursed adequately for obtaining,
stocking and furnishing these biologicals. Patients also might incur
higher costs, if they are required to receive injections in facility
settings.**

**\* Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder following
essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. It affects an estimated
300,000 men, women, and children in North America. Dystonia is a
disorder that causes the muscles in the body to contract or spasm
involuntarily. Dystonia can affect a specific part of the body such as
the legs, arms, hands, neck, face, eyelids, and vocal cords or affect
all major muscle groups simultaneously.**

Dear Representatives Castle and DeGette:

On behalf of the more than 300,000 members of Hadassah, the Women\'s
Zionist Organization of America, we are writing to express our support
for H.R. 810, the *Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005*.

Hadassah is the largest women\'s [and]{.underline} the largest Jewish
membership organization in the United States, with members in every
congressional district. Our mission is to promote a prosperous and
peaceful Israel, pursue social justice and advocate for the health,
education and well being of American Jewish women and their families.

Hadassah believes that quality healthcare must include innovative
medical and bio-technological research. Human embryonic stem cells hold
the promise to treat fatal and disabling diseases that affect more than
100 million Americans -- such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes,
Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and
many others. But under the current limited federal policy, researchers
report that it is increasingly difficult to attract new scientists to
this area of study, because scientists fear that funding restrictions
will keep their research from coming to fruition. By expanding the
number of stem cells lines eligible for federal funding, the *Stem Cell
Research Enhancement Act of 2005* allows critical scientific research to
move ahead towards more understanding of fatal and disabling diseases
and their cures.

Hadassah applauds your leadership in sponsoring this important
legislation. If we can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to
contact Marla Gilson, Director of Hadassah\'s Washington Action Office
at (202) 363-4600. We look forward to working with you on this critical
issue.

June Walker

Ms. LeRon Jackson will work with Dr. Brian Howell on a project using the
Dab1 Gene to explore the migration patterns of Purkinje cells. In order
to explore the migration patterns, cerebellar slice cultures will be
imaged using live cell imaging techniques. The method of cerebellar
slice culture is a powerful tool for the study of cell migration because
the organotypic architecture is maintained within slice cultures after
several days in vitro. She will use this method to analyze the rate and
characteristics of Purkinje cell migration by time-lapse fluorescence
microscopy.

Request for a check to be issued to Ms. Jackson to complete scientific
projects at NIH for two months. Monthly check is for lodging and meals.

**Subject: **NPRM - Digestive Listings - Virginia Response

    Other than che concern for a continuing trend in revised Listings of requiring 6 months rather than 3 months of medical findings prior to many decisions, the Virginia DDS only has the following 2 comments.

    Listing 5.02 for recurrent gastrointestinal hemorrhage indicates occurrence of three times during a 6 -month period and goes on to say that "All incidents within a consecutive 14 -day period constitute one episode." This seems to be in conflict with the information provided in the preface (5.00 C2) , where we are told there must be at least one month between events.  It would seem that all incidents within a 30-day period would constitute one episode for recurrent gastrointestinal hemorrhage, rather than the stated 14 days.

    In the child listings the guidelines for what is needed to document malnutrition should be included in listing 105.08. These are given in 105. OOF but there is not even a cross-reference to this in the listing.

***\[put Health Department logo here\]***

***\[Date\]***

***\[first, last name\]***

***\[Street address\]***

***\[City, State, Zip\]***

Dear ***\[last name\]*** Family,

Recently there have been a number of cases of Cryptosporidiosis
(referred to as Crypto) in our community. Crypto is a parasitic disease
that can cause loose, watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, and a
slight fever. It can be spread by swallowing water (either from swimming
or drinking) or food contaminated by human feces, usually from tiny
amounts that cannot be seen. It can also be spread from person to
person, especially in settings such as homes and daycare centers where
diapers are changed regularly.

**Most cases of Crypto have been linked to swimming at the *\[name
swimming pool(s)\]*. We have also determined that some persons have been
infected through contact with persons who swam in the *\[name\]* pool.
This indicates that Crypto is spreading through our community. Because
Crypto can be spread so easily through water, anyone who is infected
should avoid swimming while having diarrhea and for 2 weeks after the
diarrhea stops. Persons with diarrhea should not swim in other pools
because this can spread Crypto to other pools. *Swimming should be
avoided even if the pool is properly chlorinated because Crypto is
highly resistant to chlorine.* **

In addition, everyone should thoroughly wash their hands after using the
bathroom or changing diapers, and wash their hands before preparing or
eating food.

Children and pregnant women should take special care to avoid the
dehydration from diarrhea caused by Crypto. Consult a health care
provider for information on preventing dehydration. If you or your child
are ill with Crypto, avoid close contact with persons with weakened
immune systems (i.e., those undergoing cancer treatment or persons with
HIV/AIDS) because if they become infected, Crypto can become a
life-threatening disease.

**If you or anyone in your family have had these symptoms recently,
please contact *\[Name\]* Health Department at *\[phone number\]*.** If
any of you have diarrhea, please consult your healthcare provider for a
diagnosis and let him/her know about your potential connection with this
Crypto outbreak. Thank you for your cooperation.

We have attached a fact sheet with frequently asked questions to provide
you with further information on Crypto.

Sincerely,

**Trinh is taking blame for his own misdeeds **

As I read through the article about Dung Trinh, the man who did the
shooting rampage at West Anaheim Hospital, killing three innocent
persons because he was fed up with the way the hospital\'s personnel
treated his mother, I felt sorry for the guy \[\"Trinh details center
killings,\" Front Page, Sept. 25\]. I am definitely against the killing;
however, I am convinced that Dung Trinh is a man with dignity. He
didn\'t have any past criminal record. He didn\'t claim he was insane
(as some have) to avoid the death penalty. He had the guts to face and
accept the capital punishment for what he had done wrong.

One of Trinh\'s statements in the article that touched me personally and
the Vietnamese community as a whole was that he is only himself and does
not represent anyone in the Vietnamese community. This came from from a
guy who did not even finish eighth grade, but he strongly defended his
community from his bad action.

    Dear EPA:

    I am writing to voice my support of EPA's initiation of a veto of the Yazoo Pumps Project under section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act. The Yazoo Pumps would result in an unacceptable amount of wetland loss in the state of Mississippi and waste at least $211 million federal tax dollars. 

    The Yazoo Pumps project would drain thousands of acres of ecologically significant wetlands and impact important habitat for the Louisiana black bear.  The wetlands that would be drained are among the richest natural resources in the nation, and are along a critical migration route for 20 percent of the nation's duck population.  

    In summary, the Yazoo Pumps project would cause significant degradation of the aquatic environment, including impacts to fish and wildlife.  I urge EPA to finalize its veto of this project under section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act.

    Administrator Johnson,

    I support Governor Perry's request for a 50% waiver from RFS mandates.  Due to soaring prices of corn feed caused by ethanol mandates and subsidies, the protein industry is suffering from profit losses, layoffs and plant closings, and the situation will only worsen if the mandates aren't addressed immediately. 

    There is no doubt that ethanol production has significantly affected the price of corn, but there also is general consensus that ethanol mandates and subsidies have contributed to skyrocketing food prices in general.  For the last 15 years, U.S. food prices have averaged a 2.5% increase in each year.  In 2007, U.S. food prices rose 4% - the highest since 1990 - and are expected to rise 6% in 2008. With prices continuing to rise at the grocery store, Americans cannot afford to replace fuel with food.

    Please do your part to help an important U.S. industry and grant relief from a policy that is threatening our ability to provide jobs and food for America. I urge you to grant Governor Perry's request today. 

    Sincerely,

    Minnie Frierson

NOTE TO EDITORS:

**NEWS CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS 1ST USE OF WINDSHEAR SENSOR ON PASSENGER
JET**

The first passenger jet flight using a windshear detection system
developed with the aid of NASAÕs Langley Research Center was scheduled
to fly today. Continental AirlineÕs 737-300 aircraft ­ flight 1637 ­ was
expected to leave Washington D.C.Õs National Airport today at 1:40 p.m.,
according to Continental and AlliedSignal (cq) Commercial Avionics
Systems.

A news conference to discuss the event was scheduled for 11 a.m. today
at the Hyatt Crystal City Hotel in Crystal City, Va. National broadcast
and print media, including wire services, have been invited to the
event, so coverage may appear over the wires. NASA is not participating
in the news conference but interviews with Langley personnel can be
arranged.

Langley was instrumental in the development of windshear sensor
technology, which gives pilots advance warning of the dangerous
downdrafts that pose a serious crash hazard to aircraft, particularly
during takeoff and landing. Numerous airline deaths have been blamed on
windshear.

To arrange an interview or to receive photos or video b-roll, call
Michael Finneran in LangleyÕs Office of Public Affairs at 864-8150.

    Dear  Environmental Protection Agency,

    I strongly support your decision to initiate a veto process to block

    the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from constructing the Yazoo Pumps

    project.

    Located just 40 miles northwest of Jackson, Mississippi, the Yazoo

    Pumps would be one of the most notorious wetlands drainage projects in

    U.S. history.

    Vetoing the Pumps will save up to 200,000 acres of wetlands, preserve

    some of the best wildlife habitat in the heart of the Mississippi

    River Flyway, keep several wildlife refuges and national forests

    healthy and save taxpayers more than $220 million!

    The Yazoo Pumps project violates Section 404 of the Clean Water Act

    because of the magnitude and severity of its environmental impacts.

    The project will drain and damage an area of wetlands the size of New

    York City--all five boroughs. Many of these wetlands are in the heart

    of the Mississippi River Flyway--a critical migration route for 20

    percent of the nation's duck populations as well as other species of

    migratory birds.

    I understand that some special interests are still fighting to build

    this project that was first dreamt up almost 70 years ago. I urge the

    EPA to resist any and all political pressure and stay on course to

    complete the veto of the Yazoo Pumps Project.

    While I am not a resident of Mississippi, I am still a neighbor from

    Tennessee.  I certainly support any act that would protect the

    wetlands from the Yahoo Pumps project.

    Sincerely,

    Ms. Sharon Short

    consider this project.  We are encroaching more and more on the

    habitat of our wildlife.  When they are gone they are gone.  Just look

    at what has happened in the Everglades!  Look what has happened to the

    Florida Black Panther!

    The Yazoo Pumps project violates Section 404 of the Clean Water Act

    Not only will you be destroying wildlife habitat but think of the

    pollutants that the wetlands filter out of our environment.  Where will

    they go? Don't even let them talk about MITIGATION! The wetlands are

    there and doing their job so let them.

    I understand that some special interests are still fighting to build

    this project that was first dreamt up almost 70 years ago. We have

    done without this project this long and I think we can do without it

    at least another 70+ years. I urge the EPA to resist any and all

    political pressure and stay on course to complete the veto of the

    Yazoo Pumps Project.

    as if any alleged "voluntary" arrangement works for the betterment. there are so many sleezy greedy profiteers out there that dont report at all, that this kind of system in a capitalist society doesnt work. doesnt the wall street debacle prove this. we are all sick of these slimy, sleezy profiteers. this needs to be made totally mandatory with jail time of five years minimum for any company executive polluting, as well as a mandatory minimum fine of one million dollars for any pollution from these profiteers. we are all sick of them poisoning and killing the rest of the residents of this country.
