Read guide ↗04 / COST, WITHOUT THE FOG
The application is free. Preparation isn’t.
Your actual investment is the time and expertise required to prepare a complete, compliant offer—typically 80–200+ staff hours, or $5,000–$25,000 for outside support.
INTENDED NET PRICE÷ 0.9925Correctly accounts for the 0.75% IFF
05 / PLANNING TIMELINE
A planning model, not a promise.
GSA does not publish a universal award timeline. Complexity, completeness, negotiation, workload, and response speed all affect the path.
Training, SIN selection, SAM registration, technical documentation, pricing, and required templates.
Electronic submission is mandatory. The current solicitation and official MAS Roadmap control what is required.
Clarifications, responsibility review, price analysis, and negotiations vary by offer and contracting workload.
Award creates a contract vehicle—not demand. Catalog readiness, compliance, and business development follow.
Why the site uses 6–12 months: It is a conservative planning range drawn from industry experience, not an official GSA median or guarantee. Professional reviewers are specifically invited to challenge this range.
06 / METHODOLOGY & REVIEW
Transparent enough to challenge.
This instrument is an educational preparation screen. It is not a GSA eligibility determination, probability-of-award model, legal opinion, or substitute for the current MAS solicitation.
SCORING MODEL
Ten factors receive 0, 1, or 2 points. The factors are equally weighted for simplicity; that weighting is a Supproviding editorial choice, not a GSA rule.
0–7 Build first 8–13 Nearly there 14–20 Ready to prepare
WHAT THE SCORE MEANS
A higher score means fewer obvious preparation gaps. It does not predict award, contract performance, sales, or a contracting officer’s responsibility determination.
REVIEW QUESTIONS
- Are any factors mislabeled as requirements?
- Do band thresholds create false confidence?
- Are TDR and Refresh 32 reflected correctly?
- Are the recommended actions operationally sound?
