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.
The requirements that decide a bid — bonding, clearances, experience minimums, page limits — live in the attachments, not in the notice above. Start a free trial to upload them and have them read.
Draft the paperwork
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. Federal notices routinely put the real requirement in an attachment; adding the documents above makes every one of these materially better.
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.
What would disqualify you
Read straight from the solicitation documents: the bonding, clearances, insurance minimums, experience thresholds and deadlines that decide whether you can bid at all — before you write a word.
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.

Comparable awards under NAICS 541715 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.
Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plans to award a contract without competition to Interlace Intelligence, LLC. Title: Utilization Patterns and Billing Integrity Analysis Background The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. HHS oversees federal health programs and the providers and facilities that bill them. Administrative claims data can characterize how a category of care is delivered and can surface billing patterns that merit investigation. The Contractor shall provide ongoing analytic support across two domains: (1) drug safety, patient safety, and program-integrity research and (2) a comprehensive retrospective safety evaluation with framework for ongoing surveillance and targeted prospective study. The Contractor will return written analyses stating what was found, how it was found, and what the analysis does and does not establish. HHS retains responsibility for any investigation, validation, determination, or action. Scope of Work is provided in the attached Draft SOW Estimated Contract Period: Base Period plus one twelve-month Option Period HHS believes only one company, Interlace Intelligence, LLC., can currently meet this need, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1. Responses If your organization believes it can provide these services, you may respond to the Request for Information, attached as RFI, to show capability. Send your statement to: Olivia Barksdale, Contract Specialist at olivia.barksdale@hhs.gov Reference number: REQT-OMAS-MS-2027-00007 Deadline: 12:00 P.M. ET on October 20, 2026 Whether to compete this contract is entirely at the Government's discretion, and any responses received will be used only to help make that determination. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract, pay for information submitted, acknowledge receipt, or provide feedback on any response. Responses should be complete and sufficiently detailed, and must not include proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information. The Government may use any non-proprietary technical information provided for any purpose it deems necessary and legally appropriate. If a competitive solicitation results from this notice, it will be posted on SAM.gov in accordance with FAR Part 5; however, responses to this notice will not count as responses to that future solicitation.

Submit questions
Ambiguities and requirements worth clarifying, written as questions you can send before the deadline.
Opens in your own mail client, addressed and with a subject line — you write the message. GovSprint never sends anything on your behalf.
Emails open in your mail client and are sent from your address, so the reply comes back to you and the exchange stays yours. Confirm the correct channel and any question deadline on the notice before sending — many solicitations require questions in a specific way.
