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.

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 484210 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.
UPDATE (23 September 2026): Due to the significant number of questions received, this Special Notice is amended to extend the Request for Information (RFI) submission deadline. This extension allows the Personal Property Activity (PPA) team to review the questions received and provide responses as applicable. The PPA team responses will be posted at a later date prior to the RFI submission deadline. Companies or interested stakeholders who have already submitted an RFI response may revise or update their submission prior to the new deadline. The attached RFI has been amended to reflect the new submission deadline; no other changes have been made to that attachment. UPDATE (28 August 2026): This Special Notice is amended to extend the deadline for clarifying questions and Request for Information (RFI) submissions. Please review below and the attachment for further information on updated timelines. INTRODUCTION The Personal Property Activity (PPA) is conducting market research to understand how integrating vendor systems with a government central platform via an Application Programming Interface (API) will affect household goods (HHG) moving, shipping, transportation, and storage service providers. Accordingly, the PPA invites industry partners and service providers to submit detailed information regarding integration costs, associated software development timelines, standard industry practices, and recommendations for testing and risk mitigation when connecting their internal software systems to a central Government platform. This RFI enables industry stakeholders to provide direct feedback on how this type of integration will impact their current systems and operations, helping to shape future technical requirements and acquisition decisions. This RFI is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot form a binding contract. The PPA is not under any obligation to pursue any acquisition alternative based on this RFI, and the Government will not compensate respondents for any information received. All submissions will be kept confidential, will become the property of the U.S. Government, and will not be returned. SUBMISSION DEADLINE October 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM CT POINTS OF CONTACT (POCs) The preferred method of communication with the POCs is email. RFI submissions and questions must be submitted via email to all points of contact. Contracting Officer: Chris Frost; christopher.t.frost4.civ@mail.mil Contracts Specialist: Kevin Peaslee: kevin.p.peaslee.mil@mail.mil Technical Lead: Kipp Reed; kipp.t.reed.civ@mail.mil IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS Interested parties are advised to read the attached RFI in its entirety.

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.
