Proposals may be submitted 

electronically or in paper format by mail 

or hand delivery. We will not consider 

any proposal that does not comply with 

the deadline requirements. 

a. Electronic Submission of Proposals. 

If you choose to submit your proposal 

to us electronically, email your proposal 

to TEACHrfp@ed.gov. Please note the 

following: 

• You must complete the electronic 

submission of your proposal by 4:30 

p.m., Washington, DC time, on May 19, 

2011. 

• You will not receive additional 

point value because you submit your 

proposal in electronic format, nor will 

we penalize you if you submit your 

proposal in paper format. 

• You must submit all documents 

electronically, including any narrative 

sections and all other attachments to 

your proposal as files in a .PDF 

(Portable Document) format only. If you 

upload a file type other than a .PDF or 

submit a password-protected file, we 

will not review that material. 

• Prior to submitting your electronic 

proposal, you may wish to print a copy 

of it for your records. 

• We may request that you provide us 

original signatures on other documents 

at a later date. 

Deadline Date Extension in Case of 

System Unavailability: If you are 

prevented from electronically 

submitting your proposal on the 

deadline date because 

TEACHrfp@ed.gov was unavailable, we 

will grant you an extension of one 

business day to enable you to transmit 

your proposal electronically, by mail, or 

by hand delivery. We will grant this 

extension if— 

• TEACHrfp@ed.gov was unavailable 

for 60 minutes or more between the 

hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., 

Washington, DC time, on the deadline 

date; or 

• TEACHrfp@ed.gov was unavailable 

for any period of time between 3:30 p.m. 

and 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on 

the deadline date. 

We must acknowledge and confirm 

these periods of unavailability before 

granting you an extension. To request 

this extension or to confirm our 

acknowledgment of any system 

unavailability, you may e-mail 

TEACHrfp@ed.gov. If TEACHrfp@ed.gov 

was unavailable due to technical 

problems with the system and, 

therefore, the proposal deadline is 

extended, an e-mail will be sent to all 

entities that informed the Department 

that they intended to submit a proposal. 

Extensions referred to in this section 

apply only to the unavailability of 

TEACHrfp@ed.gov. If TEACHrfp@ed.gov 

is available, and, for any reason, you are 

unable to submit your proposal 

electronically, you may submit your 

proposal in paper format by mail or 

hand delivery in accordance with the 

instructions in this notice. 

b. Submission of Paper Copies of 

Proposals by Mail. If you submit your 

proposal in paper format by mail 

(through the U.S. Postal Service or a 

commercial carrier), you must mail the 

original and two copies of your 

proposal, on or before the proposal 

deadline date, to the Department at the 

following address: The TEACH 

Campaign, Office of Innovation and 

Improvement, U.S. Department of 

Education, 400 Maryland Ave., SW., 

Washington, DC 20202–5930. 

You must show proof of mailing 

consisting of one of the following: 

(i) A legibly dated U.S. Postal Service 

postmark. 

(ii) A legible mail receipt with the 

date of mailing stamped by the U.S. 

Postal Service. 

(iii) A dated shipping label, invoice, 

or receipt from a commercial carrier. 

(iv) Any other proof of mailing 

acceptable to the Secretary of the U.S. 

Department of Education. 

If you mail your proposal through the

Department does not accept either of the 

following as proof of mailing: 

(i) A private metered postmark. 

(ii) A mail receipt that is not dated by 

the U.S. Postal Service. 

If your proposal is postmarked after 

the proposal deadline date, we will not 

consider your proposal. 

Note: The U.S. Postal Service does not 

uniformly provide a dated postmark. Before 

relying on this method, you should check 

with your local post office. 

c. Submission of Paper Copies of 

Proposals by Hand Delivery. If you 

submit your proposal in paper format by 

hand delivery, you (or a courier service) 

must deliver the original and two copies
