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.
- Where to submit. Many Defense Logistics Agency quotes are submitted through DLA's DIBBS system (dibbs.bsm.dla.mil), not by email. The notice says which.
- 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.
