What you'll need to bid
- A quote form. Usually the SF-1449 or SF-18, with a unit price for every line item.
- Active SAM.gov registration. Free from the government, and it must be active before award. It can take a few weeks, so start early (how to register).
- Acknowledgment of every amendment (SF-30). Missing one is the most common reason a good offer gets thrown out.
- Exactly what's specified. Match the part numbers, brand-name-or-equal rules, quantities and delivery dates, and check whether Buy American or other origin rules apply.
- Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
- Delivery terms. Confirm where and how the goods are delivered (FOB destination is common) and build shipping into your price.
Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
