Tips for preparing a competitive response
Your quote will be evaluated based on 'best value,' considering both price and technical capability. Technical acceptability is approximately equal to price in the evaluation. Ensure your submission clearly demonstrates both competitive pricing and your firm's technical ability to meet the requirements.
Carefully review all incorporated provisions and clauses, including those from the Federal Acquisition Circular and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. It is your responsibility to be familiar with these. Also, ensure your SAM.gov registration is active and up-to-date, as an award will only be made to registered contractors. Be prepared to submit invoices electronically using Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) if awarded the contract.
