This is amazing content: learnt a lot and still learning. Thank you. Quick question : when working with a sub on a proposal, do you need to mention that in the proposal , if yes , how do you do word it in your company summary ? , if no how do you present their past performance as yours ?
That was a highly technical, specialized contract, and we were the only company who had done the work before. The technical statement will vary based on what the solicitation asks for. The solicitation may ask you to state your technical approach, or describe your management approach. Sometimes, all that is needed is a short statement that you understand the Statement of Work and will perform the work as specified in the Statement of Work.
Yes, the contracts you bid on may very well all have similar proposal requirements. So you would create a proposal template that you could use over and over again. But a different company, bidding on a different type of contract, might have a completely different template. This is why i encourage people to read the solicitation and create their proposal outline following exactly the requirements in the solicitation.
I wanted to thank you for your help with my company's NCAGE code request through NATO in order to sign up for the SAM system. We were able to get our NCAGE code through the British government. There are 2 different systems to getting an NCAGE code; 1) Through NATO itself 2) There are a number of countries within NATO that do their own NCAGE code administration and registration, Britain is one of those countries. We are awaiting final registration for our foreign UK subsidiary through SAM. Also using our current IDIQ contract, our current US contracting officer was able to point us in the direction of a NATO contracting officer that also may need our services. I have signed up with the National Security Agency contracting service using (nsaarc). Why do they have a system different from SAM but they still require you to register with them using (nsaarc) and they require you to be registered in SAM? Do you have any insight?
Sounds like you are doing fabulously! Congratulations! I've worked with multiple federal agencies, and they each had their own systems and procedures. when you get into the weeds of working with the government, you realize there really isn't one government system, there's lots of different agencies, each with its own way of doing business.
Any thing that works is fine. For some things, like the reps and certs, it may be easiest to do it by hand and then scan the pages. I use a Windows computer and an Adobe product, but anything that allows you to create a pdf is fine.
That sounds like an agency specific thing. What agency is this for? I would search their acquisition regs for a definition. Also, is this something that is included in the evaluation criteria? My guess is, this is just some record keeping thing for that agency and not part of the evaluation process. But, you should definitely check to be sure.
Hi there - I have completed the first steps of government contracting, I have my LLC and my SAM.,gov account. Now I just need to understand the best way to identify solicitations that I should bid on and then how to actually prepare proposals. Do you provide 1:1 consultations on this?
I have a video on how to find solicitations on SAM.gov. I also have a video on how to actually prepare a proposal. I also suggest you watch my video on how to search fpds.gov. That is another great source to find out about contracting opportunities.
The best way to contact me is here, on UA-cam. Let me know your questions and I'll do my best to answer. If i don't know the answer I'll point you to someone who can help you.

Quick question : when working with a sub on a proposal, do you need to mention that in the proposal , if yes , how do you do word it in your company summary ? , if no how do you present their past performance as yours ?
I answer those questions in this video: ua-cam.com/video/tNbHlX9n0sE/v-deo.html
Please make video on BAA COMPLIANCE AND TAA COMPLIANCE
How do you know what price to give to them?
Start with your costs, and make sure you fully understand the cost to complete the contract. I have a few videos on this topic.
Can I see the technical statement that made you win the contract, I guess it was exceptional in that they never cared about your price!

@@FedAccess Yes they are different, but I think they have some similarities if am not wrong. Like layout & other stuff

I have a proposal request that states estimated impact and a dollar amount. Do you know what that means? I haven’t seen it before.

My guess is, this is just some record keeping thing for that agency and not part of the evaluation process. But, you should definitely check to be sure.
isnt bidding as a sub much less intensive than to bid as a general?
Generally, yes. Also generally there is less paperwork if you're working as a subcontractor.
