Risk Flags 🚩
- Incumbent Risk — Current contract holder (LEIDOS) has 5-year relationship with CO. Price to win likely below $4.2M/yr.
- Wage Determination — WD 2026-0041 raises labor rates by 7.2% vs your current loaded rates. Reprice before submitting.
- Teaming Gap — Missing ISO 9001 certification is a hard requirement. You must team with a certified firm or obtain certification (12-16 weeks).
Win Strategy Recommendation
Recommended: BID with teaming partner
Your core O&M capability and clearance posture are strong, but you need to address three gaps before this is winnable:
- Team with an ISO 9001 certified subcontractor — this closes the hardest gap and adds past performance references
- Price at 8-12% below incumbent — estimate LEIDOS at $4.8M/yr based on FPDS data
- Lead with SDVOSB narrative — CO historically favors veteran-owned primes on this installation
