The moral of the story here is clear. Answer the mail exactly as required by the solicitation. Avoid some type of clever “work around” of the instructions. Do not – under any circumstance – ignore the proposal instructions. Do not waste tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in bid and proposal (“B&P“) monies, and your valuable time, by ignoring the proposal instructions and then be eliminated from the competitive range. Don't be arrogant and assume the proposal instructions do not apply to you. They do!
