We understand this being late to ask, we are local company with employees in the area and can fulfill the governments requirements with a short timeframe. WIth supplies in our warehouse and personnel, we have solid past performance for federal contract holders in the area and is requesting the government set this aside for HUBZone sole source, we understand that these decisions are typically made far out. We attached our past performance as well as our Technical Operations Plan-However our pricing was a bid confusion as we were confused by how low we had to go based on the work. We are willing and able to proceed with the offer.

Would we be responsible for buying the supplies ourselves? If so, can we get a list of the supplies needed?

It states "Contractors must pass a Public Trust background check". Where do we get this? Is it just for the contractor, or do all employees servicing the facility have to get one? Who pays for the background check? May we use a US resident to service? Or only US citizens?
