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.
