From the notice

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - St. Paul District is seeking a contractor to perform groundwater monitoring services in support of the Grand Encampment Dredge Material Placement Site Unload project along the Zumbro River near Kellogg, MN in Wabasha County. This solicitation is 100% set-aside for small business under NAICS 541380 with a size standard of $19 million. The contractor will collect water samples from three monitoring wells and up to four government-selected residential wells before, during and after the active unloading of the site in Spring 2027. During the active unload phase samples will also be collected from the river upstream of the site and from standing water within the active dredged-material placement/infiltration pit. Water samples will be analyzed by an environmental analytical testing laboratory accredited under the Minnesota Environmental Laboratory…

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.
