How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the incumbent footprint: For a renewal solicitation at an active DLA facility, research who currently performs this work. Analyze their publicly available contract information (ParaLines, FPDS) to understand scale and pricing benchmarks — though bid your own numbers.
Price for labor-intensive service delivery: Facilities support contracts are typically cost-driven by direct labor, fringe benefits, overhead, and G&A. Scrutinize whether the solicitation requires a firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, or cost-reimbursement structure. DLA often uses performance-based service contracting; align your technical approach to measurable outcomes.
Compliance and credentials matter: DLA Distribution facilities require contractor personnel to meet security clearance or background check requirements. Anticipate need for Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) credentials, OSHA training, and possibly hazardous materials handling certifications. Document your safety record and EMR (Experience Modification Rate).
Past performance packaging: For NAICS 561210 work, highlight contracts of similar size, complexity, and federal installation environments. DLA evaluates past performance rigorously — include CPARS or PPIRS ratings, or equivalent performance verification.
Cost realism: DLA may apply price analysis techniques; avoid pricing anomalies. If a cost realism analysis applies, demonstrate that your proposed costs reflect your actual approach.
