From the notice
Please see the following Q&A. What malpractice insurance limits are required? Is $1,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 aggregate acceptable? Yes, this is acceptable or whatever your state requires. Attachment 1, Part D says at least 50% of personnel costs must go to the quoters own employees, while Section I cites FAR 52.219-14. Which rule applies? The Business Questionnaire was not updated, but it should reflect FAR 52.219-14 (DEV), which states the following: (e)(1) Services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.

What you'll need to bid
- A quote or proposal form. Usually the SF-1449 (or SF-18 for small quotes), filled in and signed, with a price for every line and option year.
- 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.
- Prices that respect the wage rules. Many federal service contracts include a Service Contract Act wage determination setting minimum pay and benefits for each job category. Price your labor from it.
- Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
- A clear staffing and quality plan, if the notice evaluates technical approach: who does the work, how you'll cover absences, and how you'll check quality.
Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
