Account requiredWhy it scored this way
Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.
Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.
Start a free trial to draft these. Nothing is sent to an agency on your behalf, ever — you get a document to review, edit and submit yourself.
Sources Sought response
A complete draft response — capability statement, relevant past performance, business size and socioeconomic status, and answers to the agency's specific questions.
Questions to submit
Genuine ambiguities and requirements that disadvantage a smaller bidder, drafted as questions you can submit before the Q&A deadline.
Past performance write-ups
Which of your prior awards best match this requirement, and draft write-ups in the format the agency asked for.

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 541330 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
This notice is for informational purposes only. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Charleston District intends to issue a contract action on a sole-source basis to Watson Engineering (Designer of Record or DOR). This sole-source contract action will acquire follow-on architect-engineer (A-E) design services from the DOR to update the design for the VHA CHS Charlie and Delta Road Decks project at the VHA Ralph H. Johnson Medical Center. The firm previously delivered a 100% complete, highly complex design, including pile-supported decks and seismic analysis, for this project on July 20, 2025. The AE services will include updating the existing design documents to meet current design criteria, updating the project cost estimate, and converting the legacy VA specifications into the required UFGS (SpecsIntact) format. The services will also include administrative updates to the 100% design and may include support during solicitation through the award of construction, as well as an Option to provide Construction Phase Services (CPS).The AE shall update the design package that was previously completed to ensure compliance with current codes and USACE standards. Awarding this action to the DOR ensures the project design reflects these updates without causing a substantial duplication of costs or unacceptable delays to the Government. Hiring a new firm would require reverse-engineering the native CAD and structural models currently owned by the DOR. Furthermore, utilizing the DOR maintains clear professional liability for the stamped drawings and allows the administrative update to be executed efficiently within the required 120-day window.
