From the notice

This is an update to the previously posted pre-solicitation notice 26 March 2026. This pre-solicitation synopsis is for SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC) holders only. Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Keyport Infrastructure Security Support Services (KISSS) requirement as a total small business set-aside. The purpose of this advance notice is to provide a draft Statement of Work (SOW) for industry review before the formal RFP is released. Please note that this SOW is a preliminary draft and is subject to change. The anticipated period of performance includes a base year and four (4) one-year option periods, with an estimated RFP release in November 2027. To be eligible to receive the solicitation and submit a proposal, all interested SeaPort-NxG MAC holders must be registered in the Procurement Integrated…

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.
