From the notice

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: Please clarify whether prescription drug ingredient costs reimbursed to participating retail pharmacies are considered pass-through costs or included in the 50% limitations on subcontracting calculation, and whether pharmacy dispensing fees are treated differently. A: This procurement is a services contract subject to the limitations on subcontracting requirements in VAAR 852.219-75. Prescription drug ingredient costs reimbursed to participating retail pharmacies are considered pass-through/direct reimbursement costs and are not considered service performance costs for purposes of the 50% subcontracting calculation. Pharmacy dispensing fees, however, are compensation for pharmacy services performed and are included in the limitations on subcontracting analysis unless performed by a similarly situated certified SDVOSB subcontractor.

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.
