I absolutely appreciate your vast knowledge base. I have a suggestion for a video... "what to do POST AWARD". Thanks again as always
That's a good idea. I'm noodling it.
Thank you ❤
All kisses & Hugs goes out to you
well detailed & thorough.
You’re The Godfather of gov Contractor.
Thank you beautiful
Thank you, you made my day!
Thanks so much for this video!! I contacted the APTAC center and they said they only help business that have already gotten contracts 🙄 the one in my area was not interested in helping a new business. Has anyone had any luck getting help from them?
Do you have any videos on how to get grants for new businesses.. are there any for janitorial businesses?
Omg...... thank you sooooooooooo much... you have a new sub🥰.. also, what is a capabilities statement that goes with the proposal?
I'm glad the video was helpful! The capabilities statement is your marketing literature. You use it every time you talk to a potential buyer. Think of it like your elevator speech. It's different from a proposal which is written for a particular job. I have a video on how to write the capabilities statement.
Hi.I saw one that had a 15 page construction clause.Do I fill that form out?
Question if you wouldn't mind answering - When the contracting officer includes a checklist of documents to be submitted a) with bullet points b) & c) ... are these to be submitted in 1 PDF file or as attachments for each bullet point? Thanks in advanced.
Hi! This is awesome! Can I put in bids for two different businesses?
Yes, as long as each business is registered in SAM
Thank you for your videos on Government contracts...Do you have a video on when you receive a request for price quote in your email? I'm new to Government contracts and I'm working on my first proposal.....Thanks in advance for your help!
Watch my video on how to prepare a proposal. That should help you. I'm working on a video today on how to price your bid. Congratulations on your first proposal!
How do we know what to bid when bidding on contracts?
Your videos are simply extraordinary!! Period. If you could provide a pricing strategy or formula for products NOT services that would include packaging and marking that would be a great video I am sure your community would appreciate. Please continue to provide quality videos and straight forward explanations.
I would start by looking at the prices the government is currently paying. There are lots of sources for pricing information. You can look up the awarded amount for contracts in FPDS. Also, did you know that GSA Schedule Price Lists are posted online? You can look up other company's Price Lists and see their prices. Bear in mind that companies often offer a discount off of the posted price.
@@FedAccess I have been attempting to analyze as diligently as possible through all of the aforementioned sites. My main hurdle is the markup, FOB Destination pricing, and the packaging/marking that is required by the DLA. I suppose what I am asking is: (1) what's a reasonable ballpark markup and is it reasonable to markup shipping as well to give a just-in-case cushion? (2) how do you ask the manufacturer for a Line item per item transport rate or is this asking the same question twice and is this figured into the price/item?; Thanks again for all your help. I really do appreciate it.
Your price should be somewhere between your cost and what you're competitors are charging. You can look up the GSA Price Lists to see what they are charging. Another approach: go ahead and submit a bid. When the contract is awarded, the government will tell you the awarded amount. From there you'll know what your competitors are charging.
@@FedAccessThank you so much for the help. Greatly appreciated.
How to read and understand the General Information, Classified and Description sections of the contract opportunity?
Thank you so much ! I noticed that the solicitation was over 50 pages. Are you sending them the entire 50 pages back when you bid for the contract -- or just the SF 1449 and the pricing page?
I don't mail them the entire solicitation BUT there MAY be additional pages from the solicitation that you need to submit beyond the SF 1449 and Pricing Page, For example, sometimes there will be pages of reps and certs that they want you to fill out and submit with your offer. Therefore, please read the solicitation carefully, it will tell you what to include with your bid.
How do you acknowledge an amendments in an offer ?
I do a lot of chrochetting and I think I'm ready to contract out my lsbour
I'm a general notary in Maryland. Is there a market for me in federal contracts??
hi do you do service in this field?
Thanks, yet again for a great video.
