From the notice

The attached Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) solicitation and attachments are posted in order to execute the next iteration of VISA contracts. These contingency contracts implement VISA as defined in the Federal Register dated 29 October 2014. VISA provides for contingency sealift services that may arise in any part of the world. The general scope of services under this contract includes the provision of ocean transportation charter for worldwide port-to-port ocean movements and related intermodal movements, infrastructure, services, and management expertise. VISA participants shall provide basic services, as outlined in the Terms and Conditions, including guaranteed capacity commitments, in the event of VISA activation, for use during DoD contingency operations. For this iteration of VISA, the Period of Performance for the Base Period is 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2029…

Excerpt from the agency's notice. Read the full text and attachments on SAM.gov.

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.
