Tips for a competitive response

This is a best value, trade-off procurement, meaning both price and non-price factors will be considered. The non-price evaluation factors include Experience, Sample Project, Safety, Small Business Utilization and Participation, and Past Performance. Factors 1-4 are equally important and, combined, are equal in importance to Past Performance.

Focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's experience with similar natural resource technical services. Provide a strong sample project that highlights your capabilities. Ensure your safety record is well-documented. If you are a small business, emphasize your small business utilization and participation plan. Finally, provide strong past performance references that showcase your successful completion of relevant projects. The government intends to evaluate proposals without discussions, so make your initial submission as complete and compelling as possible.
