From the notice
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Services, Division of Police, is seeking quotations for laundering, dry cleaning, pressing, repair, and alteration of government-issued police uniforms and related items, including body armor carriers, for about 125 personnel. The contractor will pick up garments at the Division of Police, 31 Center Drive, Building 31C, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and will return cleaned items on the next scheduled delivery day.

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.
