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.

Request for White Papers for the Organic Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft System (O-CsUAS) Dismounted Sensor System. The intent of this invitation letter is to request respondents to provide solution papers on sensor systems that can provide self-defense for dismounted Marines. Access to the Request for White Papers and its attachments can be requested via the PIEE Solicitation Module at piee.eb.mil. A registration guide for contractors on how to set up accounts in PIEE as well as accessing the PIEE Solicitation Module has been posted to the Defense Pricing and Contracting website at: https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/cap/docs/piee/PIEE_Solicitation_Module_Vendor_Access_Instructions.pdf. The requests for these documents can be requested at any time prior to solution paper submission, but as part of the request, the respondent must provide its CAGE Code to be granted access. Once the Government verifies that the respondent holds an active registration in SAM.gov with no active exclusions, the documents will be provided to the requester no later than close of business the following day of the request provided the requester is a U.S. citizen. The requests of all foreign parties will be required to go through the foreign disclosure process for release authorization. Those foreign entities requesting access to the CUI documents must submit a request via email with their company CAGE code, country of origin and to which specific documents they would like access. The respondent must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. Lack of registration in the SAM database will make an offeror ineligible for award. Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements at https://sam.gov. The points of contact for this request for white papers are Ms. Katie Presutto, Contract Specialist, katherine.presutto@usmc.mil, and Ms. Stasia Baker, Contracting Officer, stasia.baker@usmc.mil. Please reference the Notice ID on any correspondence. *Posted Update on 29 June 2026 with Updated Enclosures.

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.
