From the notice
Modification 2 to Presolicitation Notice 36C25527R0013 This modification provides answers to RFIs received and revised the evaluation criteria to be used for this project. RFIs Received for Project # 657A5-24-108, Replace Medium Voltage Feeder 3 and Transformers 1. Factor 4 Past Performance / Section F Project Eligibility  The solicitation states that projects submitted for past performance consideration must have completed both design and construction, and that projects not constructed will not be considered.

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.
