Hello, I am in the process of quoting on some solicitations, I need assistance on one of the sections of the quote. On the section (Product Offered Representations) where it says Actual Manufacture cage... do I need to research to see who the actual manufacture is, or would I need to put the cage code that is under Exact Product as the manufacture? When I choose exact product, it automatically has a cage and PN chosen already. Do I need to put the cage that is under exact product as the actual manufacture?

Hello GovCon Family. I just won my first award today 🏆........ So grateful to share the news with such a supporting family!!!!

Don’t make the same mistake I did!! Always triple check your submissions. Good news, I just won my third award. Bad news, I bid at a lost due to pricing error. DLA wanted 3 units ($40 each) but I mistakenly bid for the price of 1 unit. I’m going to fulfill the bid so that I keep up my side of the contract but this was a teaching lesson. Bright side: I rather come out of pocket for a few dollars rather than thousands.

Hi, if I’m using a factoring company that charges 3% every 30 days, how should I factor that into my pricing for bids? Also, what alternative funding methods do you use to cover upfront costs for DIBBS contracts? Any insights would be helpful!

I wish you and your families the best.
