Interested vendors must provide company information including UEI number, business size and socio-economic status, NAICS codes, and SAM registration status; capability statements detailing relevant experience, technical capabilities, past performance on similar contracts within the past five years, and staffing qualifications; and optional acquisition feedback such as recommended contract types, suggested NAICS codes, industry standard comments, and rough order of magnitude pricing information per student.
