Tips for preparing a competitive response

The government intends to evaluate proposals using a competitive, best value trade-off between price and past performance, with past performance being significantly more important than price. Focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's relevant past performance.

Details on evaluation factors will be in Sections L & M of the solicitation. Price will be determined based on the pricing provided for a seed project, Repair Foundation B1099 and B412, which will involve multiple construction disciplines. Carefully review all seed project documentation when the solicitation is released.

Ensure your SAM registration is active and up-to-date well before the proposal deadline. Monitor SAM.gov regularly for the release of the full solicitation package, including the Standard Form 1442, Statement of Work, Specifications, and Seed Project documentation.
