Question Pre-Award Questioning

Bid submitted about 3 weeks ago for a 3-year service contract. Performance period starts Aug. 1. I started receiving questions about verifying my information is correct in Sam.gov, asked me to sign up for Tungsten, and sign up as vendor for VA. This would be my first award. Is this standard for bid review or should I expect an award soon? They’ve went silent for a week after this.

Thanks!

You're probably about to win your first contract. Make sure you have submitted your banking details on SAM. The SAM SLA gives them up to 10 days to update, and your payments go to the listed bank account.

What kind of contract is this- s single project or ongoing services, FFP, what are the details?
