Frequently Asked Questions 

The Alliant 3 FAQ will help you understand how to work within Symphony for the GSA Alliant 3 solicitation and addresses items you may need extra help with.  

Is there a way to organize projects to separate OASIS+ and Alliant 3?

Symphony saves your Proposal Details and documents to protect the integrity of an offer after a solicitation deadline (See Using the Solicitation Preference Feature).

Should I be seeing my OASIS+ uploads?
Company assets uploaded for OASIS+ remain in your information and are available for you to add to the Alliant 3 submission if you wish to use them. OASIS+ submissions were locked at the deadline, so any changes made to these company assets, such as updated documents, will only apply to Alliant 3 and won't impact OASIS+.

How should I tag my documents for Alliant 3?

See Tagging for Alliant 3.

What Period of Performance Start Date and End Date should we use for Collection of Task Orders in Symphony?

Enter the start of the first task order and end of the last task order for the POP start and end dates.

Is there an attestation in Symphony to indicate that all the files have been scanned, and are virus free?

All uploaded files must first pass virus detection.  If a virus is found, the Symphony administrator is notified. Depending on the Security Team’s assessment, offerors may or may not be notified regarding the failure of the upload due to a virus.

I'm a Small Business. How do I claim points for my Small Business Emerging Technology Solutions Engagements?
Small Businesses are automatically credited with 1,000 points for this scoring element. You can verify the points in your Live Score.

How do I add a Small Business Emerging Technology Solutions Engagement?

Go to My Company > Business Factors and scroll down to Other Documents. Click on the link, select the Engagements, upload the supporting documents, then click Claim.

If I used a project for OASIS+, can I Archive it and provide a different version with documents specific to Alliant 3?

The Archive feature enables a user to hide the old version from view and provide a new one. The Contract and Task Order numbers can be the same, but the project name must be different.

What is the maximum file size for Alliant 3 uploads?

The maximum size is 100MB for any single file. The system will allow as many files as you need to support your claims.

Symphony is hosted on cloud.gov with a FISMA Moderate 3-year ATO. Details can be requested from the GSA IT Security office.
