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.

Solicitation documents

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.

Statement of work, as posted

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a Market Survey in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) Section 3.2.1.2.A.1 to identify capable vendors to provide Second Level Engineering (SLE), Sustainment, Development, and Implementation services for the Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) system. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ). The FAA is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA will not pay for information submitted or costs incurred in preparing a response. All costs are the sole responsibility of the interested vendor. Responding to this Market Survey does not qualify or disqualify a vendor from responding to any subsequent Screening Information Request (SIR), if issued. The FAA may, at its sole discretion, contact respondents to request additional information.

Request a debrief

After an award notice, request a debriefing. Time-limited — a required debrief must generally be requested within 3 days of notice.
