Any Proposal not timely received may, in JATA’s sole and absolute discretion, be rejected. Late proposals received after the Proposal Due Date may be considered, if the respondent establishes to JATA's satisfaction within five (5) days of the Proposal Due Date that the delay was due to an independent event outside the control of respondent, such as acts of God or the public enemy, war, national pandemic, labor strikes, the failure of the U. S. Postal Service to deliver first-class, registered, or certified mail within five (5) days, or the failure of a national courier service recognized by JATA to deliver as guaranteed or specified. JATA will require documentation to excuse late delivery, including, but not limited to, signed statements or affidavits, postmarks, original postal receipts, courier receipts, and shipment tracking logs in a form satisfactory to JATA.
