## For agents

Prepare a safe local rehearsal of a government proposal file handoff without submitting an offer.

- The user-selected solicitation, current response instructions and any local handoff files the user has authorized you to inspect. Prepare a rehearsal and report its limits. Account access belongs to the designated submitting person. Do not request credentials, enter personal details, upload test bids or perform the final submission.

1. **Read the actual submission instructions** Locate the user-selected opportunity in https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sled or https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam and follow the original source. Record the current deadline, time zone, channel, accepted formats, naming, size limits and amendment instructions. Compare the solicitation with its actual portal instructions; preserve any conflicts rather than guessing which controls. Do not enter personal information in a request or form.

2. **Prepare a local rehearsal** Produce a checklist for the authorized submitting person to check account readiness and file access in the approved organizational process. Inspect only files the user has authorized you to access locally. Check the exact handoff filenames, formats, sizes, legibility and required parts. Use an official sandbox only if its use is separately authorized. Do not upload test files to a live bid, create accounts or transmit private proposal material.

3. **Identify receipt evidence** Read the portal operator instructions for the actual submission and confirmation stages. Describe what remains after upload and the receipt the human submitter should retain. Distinguish a locally tested file from a portal-accepted offer. Do not press Submit, certify terms, withdraw or replace an offer as part of this rehearsal.

4. **Deliver the handoff note** Return the source-linked requirements, checked filenames, verification limits, unresolved questions and proposed submission owner. If authorized to update CRM, use https://g2x.com/docs/run-a-pipeline/track-an-account and retain only public context plus the next action on the existing account; verify the save. Keep questions as drafts and request no credentials. Actual submission is outside this task.

Expected result: A source-linked handoff note listing the exact files, submission requirements, verified local checks, untested portal dependencies, designated human owner and expected receipt evidence.
