From the notice

The AFLCMC sUAS program office seeks information on five specific lines of effort (LOEs) to gain knowledge of, explore, and identify potential methodologies and available capabilities in the examination of sUAS. A draft Statement of Objectives (SOO) for each of the five LOEs is attached to this RFI. The five LOEs are: (1) Hardware (2) Software (3) Communications (4) Sensors (5) Kinetics The 5 LOEs are being considered to fulfill 5 different missions. The 5 missions include: (1) Long Range One Way Attack (OWA) (2) Air Interdiction (3) Medium Range OWA (4) Air Launched Effects (5) Medium Range Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

Excerpt from the agency's notice. Read the full text and attachments on SAM.gov.

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.
