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.

Compliance matrix

Every stated and implied requirement, its source section, whether it is mandatory, and where your response will address it.

Proposal outline

A submission skeleton where every required element is a heading with its source requirement quoted beneath it. You write the substance; nothing gets forgotten.

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.

Market intelligence

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays

Comparable awards under NAICS 334516 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.

Statement of work, as posted

The U.S. Army TMDE Activity (USATA) has a requirement to procure a brand name purchase of two (2) Electronic Autocollimator that will be used for angle measurements parameter for the calibration of angular gage blocks, optical prisms, optical polygons, and optical wedges. The increased accuracy will eventually allow the APSL to lower its measurement uncertainties for angular calibrations and provide a better Test to Uncertainty ratio for the secondary reference labs. The autocollimators must have an accuracy better than 0.05 arcseconds with a resolution of less than 0.01 arcseconds, and a measurement range greater than ±100 arcseconds. They must also have dual axis measurement capability, have a relatively small footprint: approximately no larger than 12in by 8in, and an ISO 17025 accredited calibration. This item shall be delivered to the Army Primary Standards Laboratory (APSL), Building 5435 Fowler Road, Redstone Arsenal, AL. The Electronic Autocollimator shall include the following specifications or equivalent (if not brand name): Model 229 923 ELCOMAT HR Qty:2 High Resolution Electronic Autocollimator - Dual axis - Fully automatic, software-controlled operations - Resolution: 0.005 arcsec - Absolute accuracy: ±0.01 arcsec over any 10 arcsec range ±0.03 arcsec over total measuring range - Measuring range: +/- 150 arcsec - acquisition range: +/- 600 arcsec - control-/display unit CModul HR - Interface RS 232/USB - software interface INCOLINK - AC-viewfinder prism - DAkkS Calibration
