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 solicitation. Contracting personnel will use Best Value Source Selection methods; low bid methods are not used.
4 - The contract is awarded and administered.
