From the notice

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Thermo Electron North America LLC for an annual maintenance agreement for a mass spectrometer (Thermo Orbitrap Fusion Lumos) and attached nano-UPLC system (Thermo RSLCnano UPLC). Thermo Electron North America LLC is the only vendor available that can provide service and maintenance for these instruments, which are highly complex and have many proprietary parts manufactured and sold exclusive by them. Unity Labs is the service branch of Thermo Electron North America.

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.
