1.Both your company and your competitor’s company will qualify under the HUBZone Act

(FAR 19.5).

2.Based upon the scope of work required, your initial estimates for the contract will exceed $150,000. Therefore, you are willing to offer incentives to the Navy.

Question # 2

Question #5

Determine whether your bid proposal should be a technical, management, or cost proposal. Provide a rationale for your response.
