From the notice
PBGC seeks to retain outside litigation counsel, to include a national counsel team, to provide litigation readiness, strategic advice, and representation in administrative law and statutory challenges to PBGC Special Financial Assistance (SFA) eligibility determinations for multiemployer plans that terminated by mass withdrawal and seek SFA. Counsel will also provide advice on related SFA matters. Outside counsel shall advise PBGC, but PBGC will retain all decision-making authority. Counsel shall develop and implement a coordinated national litigation strategy for matters within the Second Circuit and other federal circuits, including potential proceedings before the U.S. Supreme Court.

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.
