Practical tips for a competitive response

Ensure your company is registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov and that your registration is active. You must include your Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number in your offer. The contracting officer will verify your SAM registration before making an award.

Complete the annual Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov. Once completed, you are not required to submit FAR 52.212-3 Offers Representations and Certifications with your quote. Failure to complete these registration procedures may result in your offer being eliminated from consideration.

Pay close attention to the clause FAR 52.211-16, Variation in Quantity. The government accepts a 10 percent variation in quantity. Any excess items over the exact quantity ordered will be returned at your expense or retained without compensation.
