12.      It is recommended that Contractors use the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE).  A vendor portal for solicitations was introduced as an enterprise-level service for the Department of Defense (DoD) within the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) platform.  This capability allows DoD to have a more automated and secure process for capturing solicitations and their attachments and responses from industry.  To obtain additional information please visit: https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorGettingStartedHelp.xhtml

PIEE Size Limit. Each uploaded attachment can be up to 1.9 gigabytes (GB) in size.  The application supports different file extensions. 
Notifications when an amendment to the solicitation is posted: Within a solicitation, click the checkbox next to ‘Please notify me of amendments to this solicitation’ on the top left corner of the screen. You will receive email and system notification when an amendment is posted.
Upload Multiple Documents in PIEE, multiple attachments may be uploaded at one time. After you click ‘Choose File,’ highlight all the files you want to upload and click ‘Open.’ If the total size of all the attachments exceeds 1.9GB (see 4.A above), upload the multiple attachments in batches that keeps each batch under the 1.9GB limit.  Please contact your company’s Account Administrator for any account related issues. If you are experiencing technical problems with Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment, please contact the DISA DECC Ogden Electronic Business Service Desk at link below: https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorCustomerSupport.xhtml

13.         Return Attachment 1 in Excel format.  Fill-in ALL blank spaces and return the attached Excel Spreadsheet version of Attachment 1 – DO NOT LEAVE ANY LINE ITEMS BLANK.  If you choose to not charge for an item, please enter $0.00 beside that item.
