Hello:
I have recently been certified as a Hubzone business in the state of Virginia (in the DC Metro area). We specialize in IT services and support. I have been recently bidding on purchase orders for licensing software and computer hardware equipment, however I had a few questions, since I have not been awarded any so far:
What is a good markup percentage? I have heard 10%-20% is good.
Will my Hubzone 10% price preference be considered?
Does the government accept quotes that are on a template my company uses? Or does every bid have to be submitted with the SF-1449 form?
How long does the awarding process take?
How are you notified that you have won the bid?
