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.
