Contractor Guidance for Your Bid

Place of performance matters to agencies for multiple reasons: small business set-asides often have geographic preferences, performance in specific regions may affect scoring, and nearness to agency locations can be an advantage. Be specific about where YOU will perform work, and clearly identify which portions are subcontracted out.
