• Work closely with your PTAC. Register in
  CCR. You will need DUNS number and CAGE Code.
  Select VAN for EDI as needed. Register with PRO-
  Net, BuyNet Connectory. Consider GSA schedule.
  Investigate SBA HUBZone, SDB or 8(a)
  eligibility. DVBEs and SBs should certify with
  CA DGS. See Caltrans for WBE, MBE or DBE
  certifications. Review FedBizOps and SubNet to
  get RFP, IFB or RFQ. Interpret FAR, FASA, DFAR
  and DEAR regarding Reps Certs, etc. Remember
  DoD likes buying COTS. Dont overlook FTR in your
  quote. Use IMPAC for CI using SAP. Never forget
  TINA during negotiations. Work closely with ACO,
  PCO or COTR and as necessary with DCMA, DFAS,
  DCAA, DTIC and DIS. Use FOIA for history and
  competitive information. Check eligibility for
