The Joint Base Contracting Office does not own or generate any of the requirements for supplies or services necessary to support the Joint Base. Our internal customers develop requirements based on a bona fide need and submit them to the contracting office for procurement.
Below are the basic steps used in soliciting and awarding a contract:
1 - The contracting office receives the requirement from our customers
2 - The contracting office posts a synopsis of the requirement. These are typically posted on www.fbo.gov, however purchases from Federal Supply Schedules are posted on E-Buy/GSA Advantage
3 - The contracting office evaluates all properly received proposals and makes a selection in accordance with the terms stated in the soliciation. Contracting personnel will use Best Value Source Selection methods; low bid methods are not used.
4 - The contract is awarded and administered
You may also view the joint base procurement forecast on the Air Force small business website at www.AirForceSmallBiz.org (LRAE link)
Unless otherwise authorized by statue or regulation, all contracts are awarded on a competitive basis. Interested vendors should monitor FBO, GSA and other websites regularly for procurement opportunities. Marketing directly to contracting buyers, contracting officers or the technical personnel will not improve your chances for contract award. |

Determine who your customers are and concentrate your marketing efforts on them. Be proactive and aggresive: monitor FBO, GSA and other websites regularly and respond timely. Know what you are bidding on; familiarize yourself with the solicitation/specification before submitting a proposal. Be determined and persistent; it may take some time before you get your first contract. Consider Teaming/Joint Venture Agreements and subcontracting opportunities. Be competetive and safeguard your reputation - your past performance is the key to doing business with the government. |
