Another awesome video, I would like to ask if you could do a video on how to price a service contract! Like for janitoral or landscaping ! I want to bid on these contracts but I am not sure how to fill out the price sheet for service based contracts
Thanks for the post! I am attending a procurement vendor fair this week 😆 I look forward to meeting active contractors, industry professionals and contractors to be. Great video!
Hi Thanks great video! Say I'm very very Interested in Providing Commercial Real Estate to the Government via a lease agreement , but Playing the Middleman role . Do you know if it's possible , and if so where and how would I go about starting that journey / research if you know .Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
Contracts that are currently available for bid are listed on SAM.gov. It is also useful to search past contracts that have been awarded, because many of these contracts are rebid periodically (e.g., they might rebid the contract every three years). You can search contracts that have been awarded on FPDS.gov and on USASpending.gov. I have videos that walk you through how to search these websites.
Look for the Period of Performance in the solicitation. That will tell you their plan for when work will begin. Big contracts can take a long time to be awarded. What solicitations are you looking at?
Maybe. Unfortunately not all contracting officers use SAM consistently (you've probably noticed some very old solicitations that are still listed as "active"). I still think it's a good idea to turn on notifications
@@FedAccess Thank you for the responsive reply, I'm learning new ways to use fpds, usaspending, & SAM. I am waiting to hear about a bid my team went for and the p.o.p. is TBD. Would that indicate a longer wait for an award notice. I am trying to figure out how to know IMMEDIATELY when an award is made. Any suggestions?
the Notice of Award is letting you know they have awarded the contract to a company. The Sources Sought Notice is letting you know about an upcoming opportunity.
@@lifewithtashabae4846 You got it! There are also government databases you can use to get loads of info about your competition. Check out my video on how to search FPDS.gov
@@FedAccessshould i setup a federal corporation in Canada and will i be able to bid on US contracts ? Or do i have to setup a company in US ? Thank you
Hello! Can you discuss the significance of a "Notice of Intent to Sole Source?" I was reviewing one solicitation on SAM.gov (Notice ID: W81XWH-22-Q-0159), and I'm not sure I understand what differentiates a NOI from a RFQ. Any information you could provide would be much appreciated. Thank you!
A Notice of Intent to Sole Source means they are notifying you that they have decided to issue the contract to one company. So this is not something for you to bid on. An RFQ is a Request for Quote. They are requesting that companies submit quotes. So this is something you might bid on.
I just subscribed and I'm going to study every video you put out. This stuff is better than everything I got out of a 4 year bachelors degree.
I'm so glad it is helpful!
I agree!!!
Gurl...am here. Will watch it before the day ends. I Just received a notification😘😘😘😘

@@FedAccess Thanks I appreciate that.
There are proposals that take 90+ days to be awarded, why and how can one know that its gonna take that long?

Will the notifications from SAM notify me when an award is made on a solicitation?
Maybe. Unfortunately not all contracting officers use SAM consistently (you've probably noticed some very old solicitations that are still listed as "active"). I still think it's a good idea to turn on notifications

do you have a program for newbies?

So is the "notice " award basically the sources sought? Like they are letting you know they are coming out with a contract ?
the Notice of Award is letting you know they have awarded the contract to a company. The Sources Sought Notice is letting you know about an upcoming opportunity.
@FedAccess ohhh ok Got it ! So I could use that notice of award to spy on my competition?

@@FedAccess Thank you for your clarifying. I'm a noob to this process.
