Change from FOB Destination to FOB Origin
I need advice on how to proceed. I won a bid with exception on a RFQ where I changed the delivery from FOB Destination to FOB Origin, however in the award document it still says FOB Destination. What would you do next if you were in that position? Thank you

you cannot change parts of the solicitation - contract by yourself. You need to contact your CO. and, in the meantime check how much would be shipping, is it within your profits??? Do you want to sucrify your profit for performance - go for it. You can't cost the shipping charges - cancel the contract, lesson learned for better pricing.
Introduction
✅ Where you’re from? I’m from Cruger, MS, a small rural town of about 300 people maybe lol ✅ Your age. I am 27 years old. ✅ Your biggest goal as a Government Contractor. My biggest goal is to have a million dollars in sales in one year & to influence people from rural MS by showing them it’s possible and that they can win in life also! ✅ Your biggest struggle as a Government Contractor.

Being from a rural area - look into Hubzone certification. Gives you a pricing advantage. It is a long process so don't wait for certification, In the meantime get going with your research, FSC, NSN nothing stops you from biting. There are many wheels turning at the same time, but you just have to start and you will realize that those are the same wheels and it will be easier.
Help with packaging on my new award
Hey all, I know Nomyad have full course packages but is it possible to just pay you/your team to help me understand exactly what I need to for packaging on this award that I have?

yes it is. Go to your local post office. On the wall they will have list+ pictures of hazardous materials, stay away from that as a beginner even if you do that in commercial life.
Vendor Capability Form
Hope everyone is doing well this week. I am reaching out for some guidance on the request below. I received this from a DLA Contract Specialist this morning. Has anyone else ran across this Vendor Capability Form and if so, what was the best way to answer when you are still new to this and do not have the experience? Any information is appreciated

Now - this solicitation has a technical docs. Are you planning to manufacturer this product? That is why they ask for structure, experience. You can operate from home but have sup to make it.
Inquiry
I'm in the beginning process, researching before I make a commitment. My industry is construction, trucking and I'm in the process of establishing the only African American gas station/convenience store where I'm located at in NY. On the construction side, we do the physical construction, but we supply construction material also. I watched a Youtube video where Eric Coffie said someone sold construction equipment to the Government. Would my industry be feasible for Government contracting? I been Googling the main NAICS codes for Government contracting and can't find any that covers my industry. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for creating this space. I love DLA - DIBBS for their logic. But that logic sometimes is very inflexible - lots to learn.
