From the notice

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) hereby gives notice of intent to sole source to AdvantEdge Technologies Inc. (ATI) (Cage Code 3PQL7) for a follow-on requirement for Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS) engineering and technical support services. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541330 - Engineering Services, with a size standard of $ 47.0 million. This is a follow-on requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services for operation, maintenance and repair of the current SDTS platform (Ex Paul F Foster, EDD 964).

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.
