Who can bid
- Small business proposing as a Small Business Teaming Arrangement (SBTA)
Things to watch (5)
- Serious: Only small business teams (SBTAs) may offer. A small business bidding alone cannot propose under Amendment 0011 and must join or form an SBTA, or withdraw and resubmit as one.
- Worth checking: Full resubmission required. SBTA proposals must be redone on the latest solicitation and attachments, so earlier work needs to be updated.
- Worth checking: Work worldwide, including hostile areas. Orders may send staff outside the continental United States, including hostile areas, which raises cost, safety and staffing questions for a small firm.
Show all 5Show fewer
- Minor: Five NAICS codes, only one shown on SAM.gov. SAM.gov shows one North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, but the solicitation has five primary codes, so check which apply to your firm.
- Minor: No credit for non-relevant past projects. A project judged not relevant earns no credit however well it was rated, so choose qualifying projects carefully.
