From the notice
This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) under FAR 6.102(d)(2) and FAR 35.016. This announcement is open for one year and will be advertised annually. NAVFAC EXWC provides research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) to deliver specialized facility, ocean system, and expeditionary solutions to the warfighter. To be eligible for consideration and possible contract award, the technology or methodology shall be in either applied research (Category 6.2), advanced technology development (Category 6.3), or advanced component development and prototypes (Category 6.4) (https://www.dau.edu/glossary/research-development-test-and-evaluation-budget-activities).

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.
