From the notice

Please note this solicitation is not ready to be issued as of this date. The Embassy of the United States in Mexico City will launch the solicitation on the SAM.gov website when it is available. The requirement is to procure maintenance and repair services for leased and government owned properties occupied by the US Government Mission in Mexico. The services include general maintenance and repair tasks such as plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, painting, and other related upkeep activities essential to maintaining safe, functional, and habitable leased housing.

What you'll need to bid

The bid form. Construction jobs usually use the SF-1442: your company details, your price, the amendments you acknowledge, and a signature.
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. Federal construction over $2,000 pays at least the Davis-Bacon rates in the attached wage determination.
Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
Bonds if the job is large. Federal construction over $150,000 needs payment and performance bonds, and often a bid bond (SF-24).

Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
