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.

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.

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.

Statement of work, as posted

Please review the Market Survey Document within the "attachments" section and complete the required Market Survey Response Form provided within the "links" section. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District, is conducting market research to identify potential parties having interest in and capability of performing construction of a new, fully functional, industrial, compressed air plant in the controlled access B18 Complex at Wright-Patterson AFB, including two centrifugal air compressors (4,000 HP), two industrial, natural gas-fired air heaters (18.1 MM BTU/hr / 55 MM BTU/hr), insulated specialty steel distribution piping (schedule 80-120), valves, and all associated controls and monitoring devices, integrated with the existing control system. Based on the responses to this request via the Market Survey Response Form, this requirement may be set-aside for small business (in full or in part) or procured through full and open competition. All Small Business Set-Aside categories will be considered. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluation will be provided to companies regarding their submissions. The Government will consider feedback received in determining if a small business set-aside is appropriate for this requirement. DISCLAIMER: This request for information is for information purposes only; it is not a request for competitive proposals, quotations, or bids. It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No Funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to the announcement is strictly voluntary and will not be returned to the responder. Incomplete answers in any section or providing information outside the scope of this announcement may remove respondents from the Government's determination of whether to solicit the referenced project on a set-aside basis in accordance with Part 19 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future request for competitive proposals, quotations, or bids, if any issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Governmentwide Point of Entry (GPE). It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the GPE for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
